New Defence Hostel plants students right in the middle of Tehkal, where the Tehkal Juma'at and the fruit bazaar are barely 40 to 60 metres from the door and Mercy Teaching Hospital sits close by. That means daily needs, food, prayers, quick errands, are all just outside, which suits students who like being in the thick of a lively neighbourhood rather than tucked away. The amenities here are kept lean: Wi-Fi to keep coursework and communication flowing, and an on-site cook so meals are prepared on the premises without residents having to arrange food themselves. Monthly rent spans a broad PKR 12,500 to PKR 28,750, reflecting a real range of room and sharing options, so budgets from tight to comfortable can find a fit. On campus access, ICP is the nearest at about 3.99 kilometres, roughly a 48-minute walk, with UoP and Sarhad University following at four to five kilometres out. Khyber Colony Park nearby offers a bit of green for a break from studying. For boys who want an affordable, well-connected Tehkal base, it is worth an enquiry to see which rooms are currently open.
