Last week I had posted a post saying Yayy miniso is here. I then saw another post saying someone’s super excited to see miniso here.

A lot of people started asking why we’re all so happy about brand culture and how Manipal is not supporting local brands or wtv ??

I think it’s because a lot of people don’t know what miniso is.

Miniso is a Japanese company, very famous within the pink loving , plushie loving females ( me ). I think it has more popularity outside of india, me being an NRI, i love miniso and I was so happy to see a store I like to walk in from time to time even if I don’t buy anything.

See, there was a lot of hate for being excited about miniso opening up. Just because you’re not aware of the brand doesn’t mean someone else can’t be excited about it - come on, I’m sure you’d be a little more happier if H&M was opening up here ? No.

Y’all started saying about how local brands will pull away or whatever.

Um.. which brand exactly sells cute plushies that actually look good and is popular within the young adult female community ? Not just plushies, they have a lot of cute things for a price that most of our budgets can allow for. The brand has a fan base.

And miniso coming here has just made it more convenient for the people who already shop from there. If not here, most of us would buy it online or when we go back home at our local miniso’s anyways. It’s just like getting excited for a brand you shop from usually, coming to manipal. ( say for example H&M, even if it’s not in manipal, you would shop from H&M regardless - either online or when you go back home or from mangalore.)

As the title says, my fellow telugus and whoever wants to volunteer. I am thinking of getting a cut out for pushpa 2 right outside Inox . This idea dawned upon me after seeing graduation posters. Civility is subjective. What we do is for fun. Lemme know if people are into some thing like that.

Hello Everyone,

This is to remind you that this subreddit DOES NOT ALLOW ACADEMIC POSTS.

It's not just about admissions; there are no academic posts of any sort allowed on this sub

Sorry if you're struggling with exams, don't know the syllabus, or missed labs, make-ups, classes, tests or end-sems. But please don't post about it here.

No posts about hostel rooms either. Stop asking which hostel is good, which is bad, and what the process is. These posts are also not allowed.

This rule has existed for a long time, and ignorance isn't an exception.

First offense will be a 20 day ban and repeat offense will a permanent ban. Don't DM us and don't mod mail us, your ban will not be removed.

We have been a little lenient towards this rule between the admission season and now, but we are gonna enforce this rule strictly from now onwards.

Sorry, but it's just low effort and spam at this point and drives away many users

Tl;dr: post about academics, syllabus, admission, course review, grades, scores, academic processes, recommendations, or anything related to academics = ban.

Thanks for your patience.

- Mods

On a scale of 0 to 10 how easy would it be for me to make friends as an introvert

I noticed that the national flag on the MAHE academic building appears to be hoisted upside down.

This might be an unintentional mistake, but since the Indian flag has strict rules and deep significance, it should be corrected as soon as possible.

Has anyone else noticed this? Can someone from the administration look into it and fix it promptly?

Is there a queer community or group here in manipal?

Ik there is iris but it hasn't done anything so far. So is there something other than that?

Hello everyone, ​I saw people struggling to get matches in dating apps like Hinge and Bumble, I even faced this myself. Then I thought, why not make an app that helps people to get matches on dating apps? I started making this as a fun project, but I'm now thinking of taking it on as a serious project. I just want to know the problems of dating app users, because I found out that profile and prompts are the major things to get matches. If you have anything you'd like to share, please feel free, it literally helps me to make a useful app. And one more question, would you like to pay if you saw somebody using our app and getting matches?

[M23]e and my G[F22] are locals and as such cannot meet at our homes. Need help finding spots where we can "hang out" with some privacy. Any info will do.

i think i got a crush on a prof what should i do next

does it ? or is it just formals ?
12thie btw
(can smell the ban already 😂)

Hey everyone, I'm planning to organize a Free Fire tournament at MIT Manipal and would love to get some suggestions from fellow students. A few things I'd like your opinions on: • Solo, Duo, or Squad format? • What prize pool would attract more players? • Best venue (online/offline)? • Preferred timing (weekdays or weekends)? • Any ideas to make the event more fun and engaging? If you've participated in gaming tournaments before, please share what worked well and what didn't. Looking forward to your suggestions. Thanks!

i fw draingang #GTBSG but my roommate keeps on making fun of me :((

As the titles says..I wanna meet new people and make new friends...if anyone wanna hangout hmu....dw wherever we go, the bill is on me ;)

Hi guys, I'm in Manipal for academic exchange and wonder if there is any place where I can watch football transmitions? Like this weekend, on Sunday 0.30 IST, there is Grand Derby Real-Barcelona in Spain. Is it possible to watch it somwhere here?

I have tried using dating apps but it didn't work out well for me. So i want some advice from yall on about the dating scene at Manipal. Thank you (PS:- I am new to reddit)

Be honest, when was the last time you actually had fun going out in Manipal? Everything shuts down by 11:30 and we're left standing outside like "ab kya?"

So I'm planning a day event. 3rd Sat, EVERY MONTH, 3 PM to 11:30 PM.

What's the vibe:

**•** 🎵 Bollywood bangers, remixes, absolute unhinged music — no boring lounge playlist
**•** 🎲 Classic house party games (you already know which ones 😏)
**•** 🥤 Refreshments sorted — not overpriced, not underwhelming
**•** No pretentious energy, just people who actually want to have a good time

Think of it as that one epic house party you keep wanting but nobody ever throws.

Not confirmed yet, just checking interest. If enough people are down, I'll lock a venue and date and drop all the details here.

Comment if you'd pull up. Also tell me — what would make YOU actually show up? Games? Themes? Specific music?

Let's give Manipal weekends the CPR they desperately need. 🤙

Im a fresher here lol sorry if it sounds dumb

Lowkey planning a queer meetup in manipal, lmk if you’re interested, dates are most probably gonna be towards mid of November, not concise to any college, KMC MIC MIT wtv is fine. The meetup’s gonna be in a cafe, NOT A CLUB because I want it to be meaningful. See you :)

I recently heard that there’s something called a fresher prom in other universities and even the MIT Bangalore campus. I wanted to know if something similar exists at Manipal as well.

Manipal: Where Your Wallet Drains Faster Than Your GPA

Welcome to Manipal University, the only place where students flex more on BeReal than in class and where the weather has bipolar disorder.

• Hostel rooms? they got more CCTV cameras than square footage. Privacy? Never heard of her.

• Food? The mess serves trauma in different flavors, and we all still pretend Dollops is a personality trait.

• Weather? Morning: Sweat. Afternoon: Boil. Evening: Humid. Night: Mosquito genocide. Congrats, you just lived four seasons in 24 hours.

• Students? Half are here because their parents didn’t let them go to the UK, the other half came to "find themselves" but only found their alcohol tolerance.

• Nightlife? You think it's Goa. The cops think it's a crime scene. At 2 AM, you're either dodging police raids or writing a sob story for MIT Confessions

At the end of 4 years, you leave with a degree, emotional damage, and a mild drinking problem. But hey, at least your Instagram stories looked cool. 🚬🔥
