On matters concerning accommodation, students will be privileged to be taken through separate hostels for boys and girls.

Apart from that, to support the sustainable architecture, some of the buildings on the campus, namely the hostels, the ‘Learning Kitchen’, and the dining room ‘Vasundhara’, are built utilising mud bags. For the day scholars, the college provides canteen services which are serving breakfast and lunch at reasonable prices.

Also, there’s a guest house or waiting room for the visiting faculty or the students’ families and friends to have a comfortable setting. Two ten-month full-time fellowship programmes are available at Bhoomi College. The most formal courses are the Fellowship Programme in Sustainable Living and the Fellowship Programme in Holistic Education.

They are programmes which offer extended and advanced learning in certain main disciplines to equip students with competencies on issues concerning sustainable development and balanced and integrated learning in personal as well as professional lives.

The process of admission used by Bhoomi College also reflects specific requirements of its programmes and the concept behind the college.
