The culture of any place is decided by what it’s people follow. The same applies to Manipal.

Since a majority of students here are from the metros, the Manipal culture is also similar. People here are really open minded. They pretty much follow the western culture. It’s common to see people either chilling out in the campus or going to a bar/club/restaurant with their friends to enjoy the evening. People here believe in living life to the fullest. Apart from their academics they are very much involved in either sports/cultural or management activities throughout the year. There are only a handful of students who prefer to remain in the confinement of their rooms.

People here are really street smart and are up to date with everything happening around the globe. They are good at communicating and very outgoing. You can easily make friends here in no time.

All I can say is, if you’re from a metro then you’ll love it here from day one. If not you’ll slowly come to terms with it and start loving it anyways :)
