Main Lobby
The main lobby is the primary entrance to the I-house. Residents gather around for a chat or just to fool around. We also have a receptionist in the evenings to welcome your guests.
Formal Living Room
The formal living room is a very elegant, well furnished place where residents generally meet guests or just sit and relax. We also have a wonderful piano which residents can play!
Dining Room
The dining room is our favorite place! We can get nutritious breakfasts and dinners here. There is a wide variety of foods, and they are pretty tasty. If you are a vegetarian, you will still get plenty of choices! Much care has been taken to ensure the nutrition value of the food. Food surveys are conducted daily to obtain feedback from the residents. If you prefer your own cooking, you might be glad to know that there is a well-equipped student kitchen in the basement. Also food is served all night during final exams. That helps a lot during those stressful exams.
Apart from dining services, the dining room is used for a variety of other activities, like regional dinners, coffee night, orientations, cross-cultural simulations, and much more.
TV Room
The TV Room is the place where residents generally hang out in the evening and at night. We have a huge 64-inch TV with a cool home theatre system! It is a pretty nice place to sit, relax, and talk to fellow residents, while watching TV. During big games like the Super Bowl, everyone gathers in the TV room and has fun!
Office
You will often find yourself coming into the office to chat, buy stamps, make photocopies, or fax a document. This is the place where you check out keys for various facilities. In addition, we have five residents working part-time in the office as office assistants to help with the daily operations of the house.
Attractive Bedrooms
Bedrooms are really cozy and comfortable, yet spacious and with good air circulation. Rooms are fully furnished with bed, desk, chair, dresser, and walk-in closet.
You are free and encouraged to decorate them the way you want to. It is residents' responsibility to keep rooms clean, and one can check-out a vacuum cleaner from the office. Generally rooms are shared between two residents. Depending on the seniority and availability, residents can also opt for single bedrooms.
Study Room
The study room is the most serious and super-quiet place in I-House. You will see all fun-loving and party people studying very seriously here! This is open round the clock, unlike school library study rooms. It can accommodate a lot of people and also has drafting board facilities.
Computer Lab & Internet
The computer lab is fully equipped with laser printer, scanner, and Internet. Residents are free to use them anytime they want to.
I-House provides Free 24x7 High-Speed wireless internet to all the residents. There are number of 802.11g (54 MBPS) wireless routers installed all over the house. If you do not have a wireless card, you can also check out the wireless card from the I-House office for temporary use!
