Proximity to campus is the headline here: Afridi Boys Hostel sits on Canal Road opposite Academy Town, putting Islamia College Peshawar just 1.28 km away (a 15-minute walk) and the University of Peshawar barely further at 1.41 km. For students who would rather roll out of bed and reach a lecture without a long rickshaw ride, that closeness does a lot of the work. Inside, an on-site cook takes daily meals off your plate of worries, there is a study area for the run-up to exams, and Wi-Fi keeps assignments and video calls ticking along. Rent falls between PKR 16,250 and PKR 33,750 per month, a range that lets residents pick a room to match their budget for the term. The surrounding Rahat Abad pocket is well served too: Pakistan Post is practically next door at 100 metres, Sardar Begum Dental Hospital and Gandhara College of Pharmacy are both within half a kilometre. Sarhad University is the longer haul at about 5.18 km. For a boys' hostel that leans on location and takes care of cooking and quiet study time, it makes a sensible term-time home.
