Life in the Campus

Campus life is often overlooked as a factor that influences everything in university – from your ease in the classroom to the networking opportunities available. Yet feeling like you belong on campus is essential to be able to thrive as a student. If having access to different facilities or studying in an architecturally innovative building is important to you, don’t underestimate the role of the school environment as a deciding factor. Explore what drives social life on campus, check events or lectures happening onsite, and find clubs and societies that match your interests.

The Alberta School of Business MBA: Built on Collaboration

There is a phrase that appears in the Alberta School of Business’s strategic vision that you don’t often see in a business school’s official documents: kindness. Not excellence, not innovation, not global impact – though all of those are there too. Kindness. It’s described as the benchmark that sets the school’s culture apart, the thing that “emboldens each of us to be confident risk-takers, knowing that we can count on each other”.

One of the most honest ways to understand the culture of a business school is to look at what its alumni say years after graduation. Ivey MBA graduates are consistent in what they say about their student journey: the relationships, the way of thinking, and the intensity of a year spent doing the same difficult thing alongside the same group of people. Culture is hard to measure during the application process. At Ivey Business School, the alumni record makes it easier.

When you think about choosing an MBA program, school culture may not be at the top of your mind as a deciding factor. And yet, for many students, it ends up being one of the things they appreciate most. At Manchester Metropolitan University Business School (UK), the culture of the MBA is not incidental to the program’s design. From how students are selected to how modules are structured to what the school’s building is made of, every layer of the Manchester Met experience reflects a set of clearly held values. Let’s explore what that actually looks like.

To find your dream university campus, consider both academic excellence and campus life benefits that match with your personal goals. Think of campus architecture, student services, and study environment quality to ensure the best MBA campus experience. The campus location, university facilities, and opportunities for student networking are also important.
