Being able to reach Islamia College in a seven-minute walk is the main draw at The Yousafzai Hostel in Wahidabad, Rahat Abad. ICP is just 590 metres away and the University of Peshawar barely further at 700 metres, an eight-minute stroll, which puts two of the city's major campuses almost on the doorstep. Khyber Medical University is the distant one at over 5 km. The University College for Boys and Takbeer Block of Islamia College University are both close, and Nimra Masjid is only steps away. Rent sits at the more accessible end, PKR 16,250 to PKR 23,750 per month, which pairs well with the low commute costs a walkable location brings. The setup is deliberately simple, with an on-site cook the key provision, meaning your daily meals are prepared rather than left to you between classes. For a student whose whole day revolves around the ICP–UoP campuses, this is about as convenient as it gets: you save on both rent and travel, and lectures are close enough that you'll rarely need transport to reach them.
