Bangalore University.

This University is supposed to be the pride of Karnataka education system. However, this institution spread over an entire section of Bangalore Map, lacks lustre. Most people don't know where it it. Many believe it to be one of its satellite offices in the city. Successive governments have brickered over the choice of VC, courted conterversies.

Went to the university for buying an application. It is on the way to Mysore. The best way to get there is to head towards the City Market, go over the elevate road towards Mysore. Follow the road all the way, I counted around 3-4 signals before we reach the University Gate. Cant miss it. Big circle-cum sign board, the road leads under the southern railway line. You can get there by bus too from Shivajinagar, Majestic or City Market. I think there are about 3-5 buses stops within the university grounds. The Centre of the university is the Jnana Bharathi (Main Administrative office).

This was my second visit to the Unversity. The last visit put me off drinking coffee at the canteen. Saw monkeys stick their tongue down used glasses of coffee and plates.. licking them clean. I don't know if they (canteen) cleaned the glasses after.

It is a massive institution and does its job for most of the colleges in Karnakata. I usually try and get my younger fellow students interested in visiting the University atleast once. Just to see the place. The reality is ... It is large, most of its grounds are empty and barren, dry as the African grass lands during drought, an unhelpful and sick little extension of state government offices.
