What is it like to live in Chennai? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

Chennai is an awesome place to live in and since i was born and brought up here i would suggest any day that it is one of the coolest place to live and settle except the fact that its too crowded and populated. Chennai is a place where one can find people from all walks of life and it is basically a multi cultured city.

What is the student lifestyle like in Chennai?

Students lifestyle is pretty good in chennai and if you take up colleges you can find students from all over India coming here for studies. Every college unique and has its own rules and regulations.

How much does it cost to live in Chennai?

The cost of living in chennai purely depends upon the individual it can be so cheap and can be too costly. On an average for a student studying in chennai it is possible to manage all the expenses in 15000 INR.

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Chennai? Is there any advice you can give?

Accommodation is not easy in chennai and if an overseas students are coming here to study i would suggest its better to take up the college hostels for staying since its cheap and very safe to live.

What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?

When it comes to food Chennai has its own delicacy and there are lots of places to eat in chennai and when it comes to food i'm a food lover i would suggest any person who is visiting chennai must never miss the delicacy of chennai idili and sambar at Ratna Cafe in triplicane and perhaps if a person has a smart phone he can download the Zomato app that gives all the list of eat outs in chennai.

What places would you recommend visiting in Chennai?

A visit to chennai is incomplete without going to the beach and watching a movie at Sathyam cinemas according to me. I would also encourage people from the overseas that they must go to the Mahabalipuram shore temple (which is around 60 kms from chennai) which truly depicts the ancient architecture.
