I have been selected for the B. Des course in NIFT, Mumbai. I am currently living in Chennai and I have not left my hometown since I was born. I am very nervous at the thought of leaving the comfort of my home and parents to pursue a course in Mumbai. What is life like at NIFT, Mumbai? Does ragging exist there?
