DU Admissions: The fun, fearless fashionistas
DU Fashion Brigade
That time of the year is here, when nervous yet extremely excited students take a leap of faith and move forward from their much disciplined school life to make a mark for themselves in college. To understand this and much more we took a round of Delhi University’s North Campus and what can we say, our day was filled with a lot of fun.
We had heard that DU housed the most fashionable kids but our campus visit made us feel that this year students chose comfort over style. Most of the students we came across preferred sporting printed pants, loose t-shirts and flip flops to beat the heat.
