These things that make Great Lakes Chennai an unforgettable experience-

Not just teachers, mentors

At the onset of this beautiful journey, I was not sure of what electives I was going to choose and was struggling to stay afloat in the flood of confusion one faces in a new environment. I decided I would let time decide for me.

Learning the importance of time

There were many teachers present on campus who captivated me by the sheer amount of energy they exuded. I came to realise that this energy was a direct result of their focus and the right use of time. These teachers taught us to how much can be achieved by simply channelizing our efforts in the right direction in a focused manner.

World class faculty

Our professors took the burden of traveling from all corners of the world to share their knowledge with us. Over the course of a year, I had the fortune and the honour of being taught by the ultimate authority on Conjoint Analysis, Prof. Seenu Srinivasan – Adams Distinguished Professor of Management, Emeritus of Stanford University and possibly the most gentle and down to earth person I have ever interacted with.

Support at every step

We as a team were responsible for preparing our presentations, however whenever we needed it we went back to our professors for their guidance and views.

Stretch yourself, Find yourself

Prof. Bala V. Balachandran, Fonder Dean of Great Lakes and J. L. Kellogg Distinguished Professor of Accounting and Information Management at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, with his high spirits and overwhelming energy was a true inspiration to all of us and taught us how one can dream big and how these dreams can come true provided we are focused and put ourselves wholly behind making these dreams a reality.

The Campus

At Great Lakes I could see both, the sharpest of minds from all over India and globally distinguished academicians. But the next thing that caught my attention was the sprawling beautifully landscaped campus of Great Lakes. The 27 acre, LEED Platinum rated green campus – one of the few in the world, was just beautiful and we enjoyed every day of our stay.

An alumni network for life

The best part of Great Lakes is that bonds formed at the institute don’t end when the batch completes its tenure – alumni tend to stay in touch and help one another long after they graduate. So it’s never an end when you graduate from Great Lakes but a whole new beginning.
