review about Wilson College

The Wilson college I would say is one of the best institutions, it was a blessing to me, I have made some of the best friends both student and faculty of whom I am still in touch with. It instilled in me confidence during the most sensitive and critical years of my life. The college not only gave me an education but an experience of a life time. The college teaches life skills, and trains students to face whatever life has to offer with determination and strength.

We were the pilot batch of Mass Media students for the University of Mumbai. The course was new and interesting. There was a balance of the theory and practical which also involved a lot of on site projects, working directly with industrial professionals. The faculty was one of the best in the city made up of experienced and respected individuals from various fields pertaining to Media. The institute has a well stocked library continuously updating itself with the latest information available.

Since we had a good faculty who was well connected and had a good network with the Media industry, we had an edge of securing interview and jobs with some of the best organisations and companies in the city and country. They went out of their way to train, help and support us in our placements post graduation. During our course we interned with the top publication houses, media and television companies, advertising agencies and newspapers.

There were various events, exhibitions and excursions during the year. Every department had its own event that they would organise as either an intra or inter college event. The Mass Media department of Wilson College would have an annual inter college event called Polaris. Different competitions, workshops and seminars were a part of this event. The college as a whole would also have an annual Nature Club exhibition, this was famous among the other institutions in the city and would gather a large number of students to view the exhibition.

Well the fee structure changed with time, but since this was a 'professional' course it was more expensive as compared to other general courses offered by the college. The fee structure covered tuition costs, library expenses besides other miscellaneous expenses.

I did not apply for any scholarship or student loans. However, I did know that the college office helped students with scholarships and there were many local banks that gave student loans as well.

The Wilson College had a great campus with students from all over the country and some international students as well. It had a well balanced gender ratio as well as a well balanced ratio of students from different economic backgrounds, ethnicities, languages and cultures. The college is welcoming and friendly and accepting. Students are encouraged and their confidence is built no matter what they are going through.The faculty offers a lot of support and encouragement and creates an atmosphere of acceptance and security. The faculty often participates with the students in events and befriends and guides them. The overall atmosphere is thriving, non judgemental and helpful. I have made many close friends here and we have remained friends till date. The college is united and the alumni look out for the students. Its a great college, one of the best I would say!

Yes, living far away from the college was not easy and so I opted for the Hostel facilities. It was run by the college, well maintained, clean and safe. Living in the college hostel helped me concentrate and participate more in my course. It saved me a lot of travel time and helped me develop new lasting friendships with students from different faculties.

The alumni network is strong and they look out for the students of the college. The alumni and faculty are well connected and stay in touch despite distance and time. This is because the college creates a united presence among the students and faculty instilling in them a bond that lasts through the years. The Wilson college is not just an institution but a memorable period in the individuals life creating life time memories.

You have to clear the entrance exam, then your name must show up on the merit list, followed by an interview with the Head of department. The interview is apparently the toughest part and this particular institution is know for that. The college is looking for all rounders who participate in various extracurricular activities and not just academic excellence.

The faculty was one of the best in the city, they were well read professionals with relevant degrees, expertise and knowledge. Some of them were experienced individuals from the various fields of media. They made the course interesting going out of their way to organise field trips, excursions and guest lectures by renowned names in the industry.
