Mumbai, the city of dreams, is characterised by many words but charming, energetic and ever-bustling are some which come out at the top. Those who have lived here find it hard to live anywhere else. While the locals are well-acquainted with the iconic destinations, eateries and ingrained culture, Mumbai is always welcoming new students, professionals and dream chasers. The city is home to plenty of colleges and universities and therefore witnesses an influx of new students from all over the country every year. Institutes such as IIT, Narsee Monjee, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Instituto Marangoni, Mithibai College, Xavier’s Mumbai and more make the city a top choice for students who want to pursue their desired course of higher studies. 

One of the best ways to know a city better is by eating your way through its iconic cuisines.
