About Travancore Arts and Science College
The wind off the Karamana River usually cuts the afternoon heat just as we are wrapping up our second-period lectures. You quickly learn that survival here involves finding the shady spots under the mahogany trees near the main block rather than rushing indoors. This isn't a massive, sprawling university town where you get lost in the crowd; instead, it is a tight, focused setup in Thiruvananthapuram where everyone knows your department, and the professors actually notice when you skip a morning seminar to prep for the University of Kerala exams.
