ST XAVIER’S COLLEGE Fort

ST XAVIER’S COLLEGE

Fort

One of the best colleges in India for arts, it also offers courses in commerce and science. The college building has been recognised as a heritage structure by the Mumbai Heritage Conservation Committee. The college also hosts one of the biggest student festivals in town – Malhar.
St Xavier's is now an autonomous university offering courses in media and management, apart from the regular arts, science and commerce.

WHAT’S HOT:
Campus: The spacious building, with its winding corridors and innumerable stairs connecting different wings, can confuse newcomers, but has its own charm. The basketball court is a big attraction. There is also a volleyball court and a gymkhana where students can play table tennis, chess, carom and other indoor games.

 
Canteen: The canteen offers everything from fast food to vegetarian meals. The food is only served in steel or casted plastic plates. Students like the quality of food and the hygiene standards.
 
Teaching: Audiovisuals on projectors and powerpoint presentations are being used in all courses. Teachers help stragglers through ‘extra’ classes. There are many extra workshops and interactive sessions on new developments related to subjects being taught.

WHAT’S NOT:
Location: For students commuting from the western suburbs, the location of the college in Fort poses a bit of a problem. They either have to take a taxi from Churchgate or Marine Lines station.
