We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Both Obvious and non obvious.
Buy a mattress and pillows before you reach campus.
You'll be joining during monsoon so get your umbrella (get something that is sturdy, winds here are strong). Also, evenings are borderline cold in October so get light winter wear if you can't handle 18-14 degrees.
2. Bring lots and lots of summer clothing — winters here are minimal and ephemeral.
3. You get a bed, a cupboard, a bad-ish chair, and a small table. If you need, then consider ordering additional fittings/bookstands from Ikea instead of buying/bringing readymade ones — we have carpenters who'll be happy to install everything for a fraction of the cost.
4. Late night food is difficult to find here, Zomato etc closes down the few options it has at around 9pm. You'll have Ping's, our cafe, open till 12:30, and an average shawarma place till 1am. The vending machines have some soft drinks and junk food. But if you need/want healthy food, then consider investing in a second-hand/non-icemaking fridge so you can order fresh food from Bigg Basket in bulk and store it with you as needed.
5. Don't worry about bringing books right off the bat. The library has most essentials that you can borrow and/or get photostats from, for a fraction of the price.
6. Remember to not pack casteism, racism or classism with you. We want Nalsar to be a welcoming place for people from all backgrounds, and no hostility towards others will be tolerated without call outs. (Alternatively, you can reach out to any seniors yoh feel comfortable with, for anything untoward you go through.)
All the best!
