Doon University is at Kedarpur in south Dehradun, and its position is the most useful thing to understand before you look for a room.
You are away from the Rajpur Road corridor — the expensive, café-lined stretch running north toward Mussoorie — and that is good news for your rent. Kedarpur, Mothrowala and the surrounding pockets are residential and comparatively affordable. You are also not stranded the way UPES students are: the Clock Tower and ISBT side are a short auto ride, not a 40-minute commute.
What you give up is density. This is not a student quarter. Late-night food is limited, and the area is quiet in a way that suits some people and makes others miserable. Worth being honest with yourself about which you are before signing eleven months.
Where to live
Kedarpur
Closest to campus and walkable. Mostly independent houses letting a room or two rather than purpose-built PGs, which often means more space for the money. Limited options, so they go early.
Mothrowala
The main student pocket for Doon University. More PGs, more choice, still a short ride to campus. Good middle ground on price and availability, and the first place to look if Kedarpur is full.
Banjarawala and Ajabpur
Residential and cheaper, a little further out. Best if you have a two-wheeter or do not mind a slightly longer commute. Longer average tenancies here, and quieter.
Dharampur and toward the ISBT side
Better connected for travelling home and closer to the commercial centre. Costs a little more, but if you go home most weekends the transport access is worth real money.

Indicative ranges for planning, not quotes. Below Rajpur Road and Clement Town, because the area is quieter and further from the centre. Confirm whether electricity and water are included.
Girls PG near Doon University
Women-only PGs are common around Kedarpur, Mothrowala and Banjarawala, and the university hostel is the alternative. The rent range is broadly the same as mixed PGs — but the policies are not, and that is what you should actually compare on.
Ask specifically about gate timings, visitor policy, and whether there is a warden on site. These vary far more between women-only PGs than price does, and they are what determine whether the place works for you. Get the answers in writing rather than a verbal assurance.
If you would rather share a flat than live in a PG, matching with a flatmate first is often the better route — you set your own rules rather than living under someone else's.
What to check before you pay
Never pay a deposit before seeing the room. Advance UPI requests from someone you have not met should end the conversation. This is the most common way students are cheated in Dehradun and it is entirely avoidable.
Transport to campus and into town, and how late shared autos run. The quiet that makes Kedarpur cheap also makes it poorly served at night.
Water and power backup, specifically in summer.
What the rent includes — electricity, water, Wi-Fi, meals, laundry. Get it itemised.
An agreement in writing, even for a single room. There is a free template here.
