6 weeks has officially come to an end and along with that has Module C at Hult International Business School. As part of the Global Rotation program I decided to explore the city of San Francisco and the campus offering there and so far its been nothing short of nice. The campus is really big and perhaps due to being a new campus is absolutely beautiful. It must be said though, that the fact that the additional construction to accommodate the increasing demand did hamper the experience a little bit. In order to limit the inconvenience caused by the construction, management decided to host a few classes at the nearby Le Meridien hotel (which was not a bad idea I reckon). However, the biggest problem with the location was the lack of adequate internet infrastructure. When you have 70 odd students (signed up for a Digital Marketing course) trying to access the Internet you best better make sure the infrastructure in place is capable of handling it. If not, whats going to happen is a complete shut down of the Internet access. And this is quite detrimental if some of the things you are trying to do for the class depend completely on you having access to the internet. Now this wouldn’t be so much a detrimental factor if it was an isolated incident.

Besides this minor/major inconvenience, life at the campus is nothing short of brilliant. Currently two floors cater to the needs of students and staff. The first floor being the one with the classrooms and two areas where students can congregate and study. The other being the second floor with a ton of breakout rooms and offices for the staff. The biggest differences here in the San Francisco campus are the Student Services and Career Services. There is consistent and constant communication from both departments that give you a sense of community if you decided to tap into those communications.

All being said, I will post a detailed review of both the Dubai campus and San Francisco campus starting in the next couple of weeks. But as for now initial reactions to the San Francisco campus are positive. With Module C being so short there wasn’t enough time to get settled in (one might argue) but with Module D still left to go we’ll see if anything changes.
