Just around the corner from VU Rawalpindi — barely a four-minute walk from the campus gate — Prince Boys Hostel puts D Block of Satellite Town within easy reach for students who would rather roll out of bed than commute. Rent runs from PKR 23,750 to PKR 33,750 per month, and every place comes furnished with a bed, mattress and study table, so there is no scramble to buy furniture before term starts. Attached bathrooms mean you are not sharing a corridor washroom, and the Wi-Fi plus UPS backup keep assignments moving even when the area's load-shedding kicks in. There is parking on site for anyone who rides in from further out. The immediate neighbourhood is convenient in the small ways that matter day to day: Al-Furqan Park is a two-minute stroll for a break from the books, Al Furqan Masjid sits close by, and Sultania Restaurant handles the nights nobody feels like cooking. For students at Preston or FAST in Islamabad the commute is longer, but for VU residents this is about as close as hostel living gets.
