Hi, there are no free hostels available but there are on campus hostel facilities available and the cost would range from 3,000 INR to 5,000 INR. The hostel facility is also limited. You can get PGs from the nearby area, Maddilapalem which has plenty of pgs. Food in Vishakhapatnam is best and healthy. University is so big and spreads into acres in the center of Vizag city. Hope this helps.
