My life at Christ College, Vizhinjam where I completed my degree in Bcom Travel and Tourism has been largely positive and transformative. The faculty members are the highlight as they are more approachable and are genuinely invested in student success.
They also provided us with various cultural activities and internships which help us to grow more. The placement cells also helped us by providing good opportunities with reputed companies. They had also provided us with numerous clubs so that we were able to interact with every department.
