ACCOMMODATION
|
Official guests are generally housed in Big Bungalow, which
is also a venue for official entertaining. Other visitors,
including volunteers, are housed in a variety of accommodation
as assigned by the Deputy Director for International relations.
Each unit has its own inventory of furnishings. Please do
not move furniture from one unit to another or change your
residence without discussing it with the receptionist on
site. Please report any loss or damage to furnishings or
linen to your receptionist as early as possible.
If you plan to be away from Vellore for a few days, please
inform the Deputy Director for International Relations.
If you will be away for two weeks or more, you are requested
to vacate your room as that it can be used for short-term
visitors. Allowing a friend to occupy your room at any time
is not permitted. If you have overnight visitors during
your time at CMC, please make arrangements for their housing
through the Deputy Director for International Relations.
Please be sensitive to the privacy of other members of the
opposite sex. Men are not allowed in women’s rooms,
and visa versa.
If you are to live on the College campus, your accommodation
will be in Big Bungalow, Big Bungalow Annex, Johnson House,
Sunset Avenue, the Modale International Students Hostel,
the CHTC Guest House or the Alumni Guest House.
If assistance or repairs are needed,
contact your receptionist.
The sitting room at Johnson House, next door to Big Bungalow
Annex, provides an informal gathering place for volunteers;
the kitchen is also available for use but no assistance
will be available to clean up the kitchen.
Please note that alcoholic beverages are not permitted in
any of the Institution’s guest houses.
Consideration for the comfort of your neighbors will be
appreciated when you play music or entertain friends.
Whatever your housing situation, you will be able to add
personal touches with photographs of friends and family,
so long as nails are not put into the walls, or woodwork.
A shopping spree in Gandhi Road, and the Long Bazaar can
help you buy most basic necessities at very reasonable prices,
and walking among bicycles, rickshaws, and bullock carts
will be an adventure as well. There are gift shops on the
Hospital campus where you can purchase handmade items produced
in local cottage industries and other self-help programs.
The village shops and the College store have food, stationery
and toiletries as well as film, batteries, and padlocks.
At Hospital, you will find the Evangelical Literature Society
(ELS) also stocks greetings cards, stationery, audio and
video cassettes. In the town Harish Food Zone and the Nilgiris
Store are small superstores, which have a fairly wide range
of food and general items, both local and foreign.
