It’s okay, bro. We know just typing ‘rent room near me’ on Google and moving into a decent paying guest in Chennai is not enough. We mean, not enough to help you feel settled in a completely new city. Especially if you’re from Northern India and you’ve got to deal with the culture shock too. So it’s why we woke up, wore our ties, and sat in front of the keyboard to help you out. By sharing a few tips to settle well into a new city while staying at one of the PG rooms in Chennai.
But don’t you dare think we’re doing you a favor. Because we’re only doing what we do to earn our daily bread i.e. helping out young migrants like you to find your footing in a new city. And that’s also why, at our Stanza Living residences, we serve you homely meals, clean your rooms and take out your dirty pile of laundry. On top of that, you get access to our Stanza Living – Resident App where you can do all your house-renting formalities too. Now, read on. Because even if the culture shock doesn’t bother you, a loud PG anna probably will.
We’ve compiled a few solid tips for you to settle well at a shared or a single-room PG in Chennai:

Now, this is something you won’t find when you Google ‘rent room near me’. And here’s why. Because even if it’s a PG located in your college, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll be easy to commute to your college from there. Maybe due to a lack of good transport options. Or maybe due to bad road conditions. So it’s your job to verify this before you move in. And after you move in, spend your time getting used to the commute. Trust us, after a couple of weeks, waking up at a certain time of day and traveling to college is gonna become second nature to you.
Chennai food is this. Chennai food is that. And blah, blah, blah. Yep, you’ll rant about the food in your initial days of living here. But spoiler alert, it’s the same case in every city. So basically, once you get used to the food, especially your daily meals, both you – and your tummy – will feel a whole lot more at home.
Nope, we’re not saying that you won’t get shops that sell used furniture. Or cheap grocery markets in Chennai. But with your hectic routines, you won’t have much time or the energy to visit either. And why should you? When you’ve got super duper convenient online furniture rentals and grocery delivery apps in Chennai.
Here’s the thang: you can only feel at home at a new place when you start recognising its lanes, shops, etcetera, etcetera. So walking around your neighbourhood is prolly the best thing we can do. Basically, once you’ve done your unpacking and made the checkup calls with your mum, just close your PG gate behind you and start walking a lonely road on the Boulevard of broken dreams. Jk. Jk.
