Fighting, harassment, bullying, or any form of violent behaviour within the hostel premises is strictly forbidden and may lead to suspension from the hostel.
Residents should lock their rooms properly, safeguard their valuables, and report suspicious persons or activities to the hostel authorities immediately.
Allowing a friend to live in your room without them being officially allocated to that space is illegal.
The possession or use of hard drugs, illicit substances, or alcohol in the hostel is strictly prohibited and may attract severe disciplinary action.
All hostels have strict visiting hours, usually ending by 7:00 PM. Opposite gender visitors are usually only allowed in the common areas, not inside the rooms.
