Five minutes. That is roughly how long it takes to walk from Star Boys Hostel 2 in Qasim Town to the gates of IUB, 0.41 km down the road, and for students that saved time compounds across every early class and late library session of the semester. The hostel keeps things simple but sensible, with Wi-Fi for coursework and an on-site cook so residents aren't hunting for dinner after a draining day. Rent runs PKR 18,750 to PKR 25,000 a month, sitting at the fuller end of the local range, which the campus proximity and included meals go some way to justifying. Around Gulshan Colony you also have the Police Club, Virtual University and the GPO all within a kilometre, so the practical errands of student life stay manageable. This is a place aimed squarely at boys who want to live as close to IUB as the neighbourhood allows and would rather not think about cooking. If those two priorities top your list, the short walk and the kitchen do most of the persuading.
