When students first leave home and start hostel life, they face a number of challenges.
In this video, I address three such important challenges:
* How to adjust to the new strange routine of hostel life?
* How to live and avoid comparing yourself with the super-achievers?
* How to deal with the loss of privacy?
I hope this video will help the freshers to get accustomed quickly to this new style of life, and build their career in a frame of mind.
This video is part of a YouTube playlist where I give various general advice to students at different levels (Bachelor, Master, PhD):

Should parents be completely involved with their children once they are in college? Or, should they leave them to grow up completely independently?
These questions are especially important as students across the country are preparing to leave for their first year in college.
In this video, I discuss these important questions. And make an appeal to the parents.
These have long-term consequences for the student's immediate and long-term career and progress.
The points I put forward are based on what I had seen myself when I was an undergraduate student at IIT Kharagpur and also as a faculty members over the past few years at IIT Kharagpur.
My hope is that this video will be found useful not only by the first year students and their parents but also by those in second year, third year, and beyond.
