"A dream is not that which you see while sleeping, it is something that does not let you sleep."- Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam
"Lady Shri Ram College for Women is the best premier academic institution in India. Whenever one thinks of higher education in her academic life, Lady Shri Ram stands at the top of her bucket list and so did mine. Soon after my school, I was determined to land into my dream college and get to experience its legacy. However, despite garnering admission, the pandemic stole my chance to visit and cherish the beautiful red walls of this esteemed institution. Physically studying in the beautiful campus stands as another dream for the aspiring students. The campus is green and lively, huge and marvelous and incredibly beautiful. For the first time I fortunately got a chance to visit the campus on September 20. To see the campus, my hardworking professors and the well-equipped college campus has been a dream come true. Every bit of the college had a unique energizing vibe to it. It was a great opportunity to meet my friends and professors who had been helping and encouraging me in the online mode of learning. We also got a chance to see the tech-facilitated Media Lab of Lady Shri Ram College which offers great incentives to aspiring journalists with its studio rooms. It was also a great experience working with my professors. Every effort of theirs makes me realise that I'm in safe hands building my future." : Priyanka
"Dream, dream, dream... Dreams transform into thoughts and thoughts result in action. You cannot change your future, but surely you can write about your future. LSR was always my dream college and Journalism was always my dream course. I remember the day when I got admission into LSR. I was full of tears, tears of happiness, tears of achievement, tears of my hard work that paid me well. But, there came another hurdle, the pandemic that shook all of us to our roots. Fortunately, on September 20, after almost a year past my admission, I got the chance to come to college and visit the campus. Our professor, Dr. Vartika Nanda ma'am, gave us an opportunity to gain such a wonderful experience. We met and interacted with our teachers who were really cheerful and happy to see us in the college for the very first time. Vartika ma'am also provided us with help to gain an insight into how things are actually done in the offline mode. This physical mode of working experience was really a great learning opportunity. We had small chit-chats, we laughed together, we worked together, we learnt together! I can't wait to have this experience again." : Vidhi Gupta
"Lady Shri Ram College for Women has always been a dream college for me, and it felt like a surreal dream came true visiting it for the first time. The campus is absolutely beautiful - there are flowers everywhere, there are dogs roaming around in the campus. For a second, I actually thought I was in heaven! After sitting at home for a whole year, completing my first year of college online, actually being on the campus felt so productive. We worked under the guidance of Dr. Vartika Nanda. It was a great experience. She is so motivating and so cheerful. We were accompanied by two dogs in our class too, Sunshine and Chase. They made my day just a little better with their presence. All faculty members were immensely welcoming! Even though I met my professors for the first time, it felt like I’ve known them forever. We clicked pictures with them, and chatted with them about academics and beyond. There isn’t anything else I would trade this experience for. I can’t wait to spend my next two years in this college!" : Astha Modi
"My first visit to Lady Shri Ram College for Women was indeed an unforgettable one. I'm out of words while I try to describe the beauty of the college. Those green lawns and gardens just brought a gentle breeze with a sense of peace while I was sitting in the class. The best of the memories were created while clicking pictures with friends and interacting with them for the first time physically. It was a blessing to talk to the faculty in real life, something I wish we could've done earlier. All of the teachers were extremely sweet and welcoming - it seemed as if we had found a new family in college! Not to forget, the whole credit goes to the Head of the Department, Dr. Vartika Nanda ma'am. She gave us this golden opportunity. She is really the sweetest! This will count as one of the best days of my life and I will always cherish this wonderfully amazing experience!" : Jahanvi Aggarwal
"When I was first asked about going to college, I grew very excited! I always wondered when I'd get this precious chance and at last, I had got it! Those red walls of LSR gave butterflies in my stomach. The college campus was wonderful! There's greenery as far as the sight goes. It was an amazing experience visiting it personally, meeting our fantastic faculty and a few of my classmates. I got the golden opportunity to work with the Head of our Department, Dr. Vartika Nanda ma'am, who was very kind to have given us this golden opportunity! I never thought that it could be this fun and interesting. As an introvert, I tend to talk very little, but the friendly atmosphere helped me quickly get engaged in the work and interact with a lot of people! I also got to meet the sweetest dogs of LSR, Sunshine and Sweetie, they were very happy in our presence. Other than this, I spoke to Vikram Sir who was very kind and gave us a glimpse of Media Lab. He told us everything about it and what we are supposed to do there. I also got a chance to have a beautiful conversation with the staff member overlooking the café. She was very sweet and agreed to serve us the tastiest coffee. We also captured many pictures and selfies in different parts of the college. The experience made me extremely delighted and I wish to visit the college again!" : Anjita Sharma
