Apart from addressing the concerns of your family, a safe hostel accommodation will also allow you to live and study peacefully. Knowing at all times that you and your belongings are safe can add substantially to your overall university experience.

The good news is that premium student housing facilities such as S’ Residences at Dayananda Sagar University, Bengaluru, are equipped with modern security features.

So, what these security features are, you may wonder! If you’re moving to a youth hostel or a student hostel, here are some security features to look out for:

Biometric security system
This is probably one of the most common yet significant features that a hostel or any other student living space must have. It gives access only to authorized people, for example, those who live in this hostelworld.
Your hostel room with biometric access control ensures that no one can invade it even in your absence. The biometric security system is especially more effective in a hostel where not only students but also many housekeeping and maintenance staff may be present at all times.

Surveillance cameras
Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) cameras installed in every corner of the hostel accommodation facility are a standard requirement of community student living. With these cameras capturing every detail 24/7, you can chill with your friends without any worries about your things getting lost.

You can simply go through the footage and eliminate your worries. This feature is also useful for times when you are not in your hostel room and your valuables are still there.

Emergency Backup
Disasters can happen anytime even in the best hostel in India and it should have quick backup measures to restore normalcy. From fire emergencies to medical ones, a hostel accommodation must have instant help for everything.
If there is a power outage, a backup electricity supply is a must so the routine of the students does not get disrupted. Moreover, there must be a backup for health emergencies and trained staff for handling these situations.

Food Quality Checks
Most hostels and student living facilities provide meals and refreshments. Usually, this entire operation is contracted to a reputable catering firm. In these cases, the hostel management must conduct regular food quality checks.
Besides, the kitchen staff should maintain high hygiene standards and take appropriate precautions to ensure they serve only the best quality food. They should use only fresh fruits and vegetables.

Safe Neighborhood
The safety of students in a hostel depends a lot on where it is located. Hostel accommodation in a violence-prone area can’t be said to be safe. On the other end of the spectrum, a premium on campus housing facility inside the university campus but run independently offers both off-campus freedom and on-campus safety and security.

In Conclusion
Modern security features are essential in any student hostel accommodation. They instill a sense of security both in students and their parents. It’s necessary as these young students are just starting to live independently. They need protection.

S’ Residences, which is located inside the Dayananda Sagar University campus in Bengaluru is a premium on-campus housing facility for students and it features all of the advanced security features mentioned in this blog.
