DY Patil College of Architecture Pune was never my choice of college. I wanted to study abroad but finances became a problem. I never thought that over the years of my education there, I would be so attached that I would feel bad leaving the college. The friends I made during my time there is a proof that fate had better things for me and hence fate sent me to DY Patil instead of the United States.
