Laid over 55 acres, the NALSAR campus is a breathtaking mix of bold architecture and stunning landscaping.
First time visitors and parents often liken the campus—with its variety of trees, sprawling lawns, and tastefully designed architecture—to a wildlife resort. The campus boasts of spacious dining halls, residential complexes (one each for men and women), a stadium, tennis lawns and even a small pond of its own. While classes take up the first half of the day, the campus lanes and pavements come alive as the sun sets behind the plateaus and palms in the horizon. Often, teachers and students are seen engaged in discussions over tea. At night, banter shifts to the night canteens, of which there is one in each hostel complex
