Infrastructure at GIBS is pretty good. Classrooms are spacious with smart boards, so lectures are never boring. The library has a good collection of books and journals, and it's actually quiet enough to study there. Wi-Fi works fine across campus, which is a big help for assignments and research. I'm a day scholar, so I haven't stayed in the hostel, but from what I have seen, it looks clean and well-kept.
