Settling In: Learning How to Live Abroad
I absolutely love travel! I crave adventure, and one of my biggest fears is being stuck in one place for the rest of my life. It is funny though, because coming to India has made me miss my small-town home.

HOUSING
The EBS student hostel is located in one of our favorite neighborhoods in Delhi! On most mornings, birds can be heard chirping outside the windows. A look outside will discover an array of potted plants and trees from neighboring balconies lining the residential street. We fell in love with this beautiful location and we are sure you will too! The EBS hostel is fully furnished and ready for you to move in!
In addition to its peaceful surroundings, the hostel is located just 10 mins from one of the top hospitals in Delhi. You will never be far from quality health care. Not to mention, your EBS host family will be living only a 5 min walk away.
Transportation is important in Delhi. Fortunately, the student hostel is only a short walking distance from the Saket metro station. Using the metro can easily connect you to essentially anywhere in the city. In addition, you will quickly become a pro at calling for “autos” or catching Ubers with fellow peers. The enchanting streets of Delhi are just waiting to be explored!
Lastly, and possibly the best part about our location… the EBS hostel is only a 5 min drive from the Select CityWalk Mall! This is the place you can get most imported food items, Indian and western style clothing, and of course coffee. Starbucks and many other favorite coffee places and restaurants are literally just around the corner from your future home.
Moving to a new country can be challenging and maybe even a little nerve-racking. EBS wants to make sure you feel as safe and as comfortable as possible during your study abroad time in Delhi!

How to Survive the Holidays When Studying Abroad
This Christmas, I spent the holidays away in India, and let me tell you, it is hard to celebrate major holidays away from your family.
“Mine, Mine, Mine”: How I’m Learning To Share In Spite Of My Individualism
Remember the colony of seagulls in Finding Nemo who endlessly chime just one word: “mine, mine, mine, mine…” For many Americans, “mine” is a word we learn as a child and effortlessly carry into our adult years. Indian friends are teaching me by their actions that “mine” isn’t the only option.
LIFE IN DELHI
When living in Delhi, every day is a new adventure! The nation of India is teeming with life, history, culture, and potential—and Delhi is no exception! Just outside your door are literally hundreds of restaurants, food vendors, shops, and parks waiting to be explored. There are over 500,000 university students studying in Delhi which means that there are plenty of fun spots where students like to go hang out.
You will find quickly, making friends in Delhi is never too hard. Delhi students are very open to making new friends, meeting for food, or joining in on a study session! Most students love to show off their city to foreigners. Ask a student to take you to their favorite restaurant or show you around the different sights, and you are sure to make a friend! In addition, Delhi has a great metro system for navigating the city which can also be a convenient time to strike up a conversation with someone new.
One of the nice things about studying with EBS is that you will never feel alone. As an EBS student, we want you to feel like family and connected to our local community. This means that we will introduce you to other Indian students in the area, involve you with student-focused events, and stay closely connected to you throughout your stay. You can rely on us to help you navigate learning the new city, culture, food, transportation, and beyond.
In Delhi, the food has lots of flavor, the streets have lots of noise, and culturally has so much to absorb and learn from. If you are looking for a place to surprise you, expand your perspectives, and make a lasting impact then Delhi is your place.
“Anthem for Delhi”
The “Anthem for Delhi” is a video created by American students that artistically seeks to capture the many sights, smells, sounds, and people of Delhi! These students came to tour Delhi with EBS and created this video using footage from their time exploring the South University Campus area—a place where many Indian students spend their free-time during the school year.
