For students at VU Rawalpindi, few hostels sit as conveniently as Al Rafay Boys Hostel, just 1.6 kilometres from campus, a nineteen-minute walk in New Katarian, Satellite Town. Preston Islamabad and FAST Islamabad are further afield at roughly three and four and a half kilometres respectively, making this best suited to those studying nearby. Rent is charged monthly, from PKR 23,750 up to PKR 31,250. Rooms are geared for study, with a study table and wardrobe for each resident on top of the provided bed and mattress, and geysers supply hot water when winter sets in over Pindi. Wi-Fi keeps residents connected for lectures and assignments. The block itself is handily placed, F-Block Park is a short walk for a break from the books, Holy Family Hospital's emergency is within reach, and the Rawalpindi College of Commerce and Science and a Bank Al Habib branch round out the immediate surroundings. It's a functional, study-focused boys' hostel, and for anyone enrolled at VU Rawalpindi wanting to cut the daily commute right down while keeping rent manageable, its position is hard to beat.
