Course Curriculum
The IVEY School of Business is an institution one of its kind which is committed to teaching the students through case study methodologies apart from the conventional methods of text book studies.In Academics.There are compulsory core subject papers as well as elective papers under the course curriculum. We needed to choose its elective papers wisely which would more be sustainable to our course specializations. For example, if one chooses MBA in Finance, he/she may choose supply chain Management/ Retail Management which is more viable for Finance. IVEY stands apart from other traditional business schools because of its imparting knowldge to the students through case study methodologies everyday in academics.

Hostel
I'm currently in a private residence. Some of my friends live in the dorms - there's no individual accomadation, you'll have to share with 2 or 3 people. There's a shared kitchen. My friends told me there's a very active dorm life with games and constant activities and engagement. Each different dorm has mentors and supervisors. I would like to apply next year to residency.
