One of the major advantages of having an MBA campus a little isolated from the city is that every morning we wake up to the scenes and sounds of peacocks, lush green trees, blooming flowers, chirping birds all of which adds up to an extremely calming experience in the morning. On the other hand, while this campus of Symbiosis Institute of business management, Hyderabad is filled with serene beauty, one slight downside that comes with it is that the students often tend to miss the city and the city life living here on campus.
This is precisely why, the management here at SIBM-H along with the student committees organising weekly excursions to the city, is such an amazing initiative. These trips are made to one of the two major malls in the city of Hyderabad with the sole aim of providing the students with a plethora of activities to choose from.
This is a wonderful initiative as most of the students were brought up in cities… and while they love living on campus, they’re bound to sometimes miss the hustle and bustle that comes with living in a city.
The students enjoy the day out trying out all the things and activities the mall has to offer. Some groups of students love to watch movies, some go out for a fun brunch while some love to hit the bowling alleys. All in all it makes for an extremely fun and wholesome experience while also serving as a stress buster from the assignments, tests and evaluations.
Moreover, these weekly trips also help the students restock on their supplies and get any additional groceries/ items that are not available on campus.

The Management at SIBM-H and the student welfare council thus ensure that the students are getting the best of both worlds – charmed isolation while studying on campus and weekly reminders of the perks the city offers and these efforts should be applauded appropriately.
With this, I eagerly await the coming weekend. I already have so many activities planned for it!
