Kumarapuram is the residential neighbourhood just south of the Medical College campus, linked to it by a short stretch of road. It is much quieter than the hospital junction, with tree-lined lanes, independent houses and small apartment buildings. That mix of calm and proximity suits medical and dental students, nurses, junior doctors and RCC staff. Shops and eateries are fewer than at Medical College, but everything you need is a short walk or auto ride away.
