Infrastructure:
LTMMC is a government college, so it would be silly to expect out-of-the-world amenities and whatnot. But the infrastructure is certainly improving. Most classes are conducted in the new building. The laboratories are quite clean and well maintained, and the equipment in them actually works. The air conditioned library is quite big, and has enough books for the students. The college also has a tiny ground for sports, but you'll hardly ever find anyone there.

As far as the hostels are concerned, the previously abject situation is getting better. There still no hostel facility for first year students, who have to make their own arrangements. After this, the girls hostel is in TB Hospital in Sewri, while the boys hostel is near the Urban Health Centre in Dharavi. However, the new senior hostel is in the campus itself. The rooms are quite tiny and are on a twin sharing basis.

Fees:
The fees for all Government medical colleges is standard, which means at LTMMC it is roughly Rs.30,000 per year.

Faculty:
In spite of being doctors and not teachers by vocation, the professors are quite good, and actually interested in teaching. They share a good rapport with the students. Communication in the class is mainly in English, though professors are willing to explain in Marathi/Hindi if the students need them to.

LTMMC is also really good for MD, and one specialisation that its very popular for is burns.

Hospitals affiliated:
Students are sent to the following hospitals:

Sion Hospital
Urban Health Centre, Dharavi
Kasturba Hospital

Since all of these are government hospitals, you'll likely get more patients than you could ever have bargained for.

Crowd:
The crowd is like what you'll find in any other government medical college. Most of these are students who've done extremely well in their CET, and some who have come through reservations (who have also done pretty well in their CET, of course). All in all, they are quite friendly and very approachable. As put by one of the students, KEM (rank1) is all about studying, JJ Medical (rank3) is all about fun. Sion (rank2) is a mix of both.

Canteen:
The canteen is really, really good. Its cheap (even cheaper if you are a student) and hygienic, and the food is tasty as well. Normally its not too crowded, but between 12.30 and 1.00, it becomes impossible to even stand here in peace.

Hangouts:
There really is not much around Sion Hospital, except for Cinemax and Sion Fort, where you can go once in your life and decide never to go back again. Apart from these, students are forced to go all the way to Bandra or Phoenix Mills.

Attendance:
The college is really strict about attendance. As per the university rule, you are expected to maintain a minimum of 75% attendance in theory lectures and 80% in practicals. At LTMMC, they pretty much ensure that you do it, because if you don't, then there's a very real possibility that they'll stop you from writing the exams. Which is not a good thing, by the way.
