AIMST university fosters what is perhaps the best sense of community by providing in campus hostel. The modules within the faculty exemplify this idea not only academically, but also socially, by providing a sense of “home” while on campus access to library and other labs. The large amount of interaction between students and professors during my study years at AIMST was unexpected but so beneficial. Students have open communication with lecturers and course directors and there are a variety of ways that students can influence and improve their education.
