Miranda House, Delhi

An opportunity to reside in the Miranda House Hostel, which has been home to several famous and distinguished alumni in their formative years, is indeed a privilege. In fact, Miranda House was a Residence before it became a college, hence the name Miranda House! The residence which has grown to be a premier college of the country was established in 1948 by the then vice-chancellor, Sir Maurice Gwyer; its foundation stone was laid by Lady Edwina Mountbatten on March 7 of the same year. The red brick building designed by the renowned architect Walter George is an architectural delight, laid out in an aesthetically designed quadrangle enclosing well-kept gardens, paced out by bottle palms. The long corridors, the dining hall with a high arched ceiling, and the stonework balconies add to its charm.
