Imt Dubai Campus Life
Dubai is fast becoming a management studies destination. More and more students come here for their MBA at the Institute of Management Technology (IMT) – a premium business school – located in Dubais International Academic City. IMT Dubai has been awarded an accreditation from the Ministry of Higher Education & Scientific Research, UAE.

IMT Dubai believes that management education is not just about classroom lectures and theoretical knowledge of management. The institute has seamlessly transferred this conviction into its sprawling campus, leaving no stone unturned in their bid to make IMT Dubai an ideal seat of learning.

IMT Dubais exceptionally planned and built campus at Dubai Academic City is spread over a total of 250,000 square feet and is equipped with infrastructure and campus facilities in par with International standards.

The residences at IMT Dubai do not just offer students an abode, but provide a safe and convenient living environment far from their home. The 252 residential blocks are segregated with separate homes for males and separate ones for the lady students. Each of the blocks are well-equipped with all possible facilities required for a convenient lifestyle. There are 112 single occupancy rooms and 140 double occupancy rooms.

While studying at IMT Dubai, you will not miss your home and home sickness will not be a hindrance to the management studies. Most students miss home food. No matter where they study. But, at IMT, Dubai the food is great and boredom is not even an option. The campus has well planned sports and recreational activities that help a student rejuvenate after a long, hard day of studying.

In fact, the Corporate Club is a virtual lifeline at the IMT Dubai campus. It forms a meeting ground where students meet the best companies for the job opportunities in UAE and offers them the opportunities to rejuvenate.

An annual forum – the IMT Knowledge Festival – is a lifetime opportunity where students meet pioneers from the business community and other academic delegates from UAE and from across the globe. Their experiences become lines of inspiration. Many students get really motivated after interactions with these highly accomplished guests. The fest is thus an ultimate forum to exchange ideas on key issues, current affairs and latest business trends.

Other than that, the Office of Student Services of IMT Dubai operates to provide nonacademic support and help to students to get them integrated into the IMT Dubai community. Rich cultural activities, such as dance, music and theatre on the campus prepare future managers, nurturing and developing their personality and intellect.

Campus Living Choices

Decisions, decisions, decisions. Getting the most from your college experience is all about choices. One that will have the most impact on your time at college is deciding what living arrangements will work best for you. Live at home and commute? Off-campus apartment? On-campus residence hall? The majority of college students choose the dorms, especially as freshmen and sophomores, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that’s your best choice. Naturally, finances play a big part in the final decision, but there are a number of other considerations you should take into account before you pick on-campus living. It depends on how you tend to look at things:

Friendly companionship or lack of privacy? In the dorms, there will be plenty of opportunities to make new friends. It’s a great way to get to know who’s who and what’s what, and one of the best cures for homesickness.

The down side is you can’t just turn it all off if you’d like some privacy. You may discover that when opportunity knocks, it doesn’t stop knocking, even when you just want some peace and quiet. And if you’re not a really sound sleeper, things can get pretty loud at 2 a.m. on the weekends.

Welcome simplicity or restricted opportunities? Living in a dorm is much simpler than living in an apartment. No monthly bills, no worries about groceries or cooking, no cleaning chores other than your bed and your desk. The flip side, of course, is that your dorm room can seem a bit cramped. Entertaining friends can be a struggle, especially if your roommate has the same idea at the same time. What’s more, many dorms require students to leave for holiday and term breaks and for the summer. This can be a huge pain, especially if you’re an out-of-state student.

Convenience or confinement? Leaving your dorm room at 9:45 to make a 10 a.m.

class is no problem. Walk wherever you want to go and forget high gas prices, lack of parking, and bus schedules. Some dorm rooms even come with free cable, high speed Internet access, and other perks. On the other hand, the comfortable convenience of the campus can seem confining at times. Also, most dorm contracts require that you purchase a campus meal plan. That translates into a lot of cafeteria meals that may not be always to your liking, and you may have to pay for a certain number of meals even if you don’t eat all of them.

Interpersonal skill building or social-life overload? Dorm life is a quick way to get a ton of “extra credit” in interpersonal relationships. It’s a total-immersion course in learning how to get along with your roommate and the people roaming the halls. For that very reason, it can also be a bit – or a bunch – overwhelming, depending on the personalities involved. You may have to deal so much drama you feel like you’ve declared a second major. And even if that freaky guy down the hall does turn out to be the next Bill Gates, there may be some people you just prefer not to get to know.
