Accommodations and Options For Working Women And Women Students In Chennai 

Chennnai with an approx population of 7 million is a city that is expanding its borders with recent addition of suburbs and the city administration faces a hike in daily challenges as well as the citizens residing and traveling to work in different places within the city. Travel and conveyance from place of stay to the Office/College is a challenge faced by all who are new to the city, especially women.  

Quantity VS Quality

      To accommodate its ever rising population of temporary and transitory migrants, Chennai has been witness to a mushrooming of low-rent commercial stay-ins, hostels and paying guest facilities in the past two years, most of which provide substandard and crowded living conditions spurred by profit motives of the owners, never giving the residents theirs money’s worth while on the top end, it can prove to be too expensive. Yet this might fit those with high disposable income and deem it necessary to avail luxury and comforts at its price.

      There are also some short stay facilities that collect huge advance deposits which most women coming to work or study in Chennai find it beyond their means to pay or once paid, they find it difficult to move out and look for better accommodations.

What women want…

      The general preference of working women and college students is to stay not far away from locations which offer enough shopping options and food joints, yet prefer not be disturbed by the business buzz on the streets or by vehicular noise and air pollution from the traffic laden roads. After all, at the end of a hard day’s work, everybody needs the warm, cozy, peace, security and comfort of a place to call home, even if it is for a year or two.

Before you move in….

      The consideration one should make before renting a room or sharing an accommodation is to check if it is situated in a residential area and if the neighborhood is safe, if the rooms are cleaned daily, if the place has good access to transport, food and shopping. Other than that competent and helpful support staff would help in making your stay, comfortable.

      It is always ideal to make a visit to the place, and assess the facility at your own time, interact with others residents, and weigh your options before you decide to move in.
