The colleges of Delhi University are heaven for all the foodies out there. The canteen is too good to be true, and the price they serve their food at is mind-blowing. Truth be told, the canteen could be one of the reasons students love to go to their colleges. After a long lecture, sitting in the canteen with your friends or alone, with a cup of iced tea, food, cultural societies’ occasional practices; it’s a total vibe!
