Kushagra Baranwal, student of Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) says, “Abhi toh muskurate huye aaye hain, ab aage aage dekho hota hai kya! Par aage tension yeh hai ki classes late shuru hui hain toh assignment, placement, internship, sab kuch late hoga.”

Ayush Chaudhary, student at Ramjas College, says, “Maine toh orientation attend hi nahi ki. Main bahar baithke campus ki feel le raha tha. Itne time baad finally andar aane ko mila, mera ID card banega DU ka, yehi soch ke I’ve been smiling since morning. Mera friend orientation orientation attend kar raha hai, I’ve told him ‘Tu attend kar aur mujhe bata diyo kay bola’ (laughs). Also, canteen explore karna is a must. Isliye came here with my friends. Classes ke beech mein yahin aake toh baithenge.”

Devyanshi Kukreja, BA (Hons) Sociology student at Indraprastha College for Women, says, “I’m happy but also really nervous! I’m stepping out of the house after a long time, and haven’t attended physical classes in the last two years so today is kinda big deal for me. But, I decided to invest in my OOTD because college means casuals clothes unlike school so I really needed to look my best.”
