HAVE CYCLE, WILL TRAVEL
Roorkee Memoirs Roorkee University had a beautiful campus spread over an area of 350 acres. While the University office, departments, library and club were located at the centre of the campus, most hostels were on the periphery, making it necessary for students to have some kind of transport for moving around. The average distance travelled by a student, if he was attending all classes and workshops, could be anything between 6 to 8 kilometres per day.
