Al Hadi Boys Hostel sits in Maqbool Colony, off Maila Gali in Gulberg Colony, and its real draw is how close it keeps students to the day-to-day of university life. The IUB Bus Stop is barely 200 metres away, so the roughly 3.25 km trip to the Islamia University of Bahawalpur is a quick hop rather than a daily ordeal, and Govt College of Technology sits within a short walk too. Rooms come with beds, mattresses and study tables already fitted, and each has an attached bathroom, which spares residents the shuffle down a shared corridor at dawn. Geysers handle the hot water and Wi-Fi runs throughout for classes and assignments. Rent lands between PKR 13,750 and 18,750 a month, reasonable for what is on offer. There is even a pharmacy right on the doorstep for the odd late-night headache or emergency. For a student weighing up where to base himself in Bahawalpur, the pull here is the mix of a genuinely short commute, a private bathroom and a room already set up to study in, all without stretching the monthly budget.
