Hi.

Yes, you can expect the hostel rooms and common areas at the new GIBS campus to be reasonably spacious and well-maintained, based on official information and current student reviews. Here's what's known about their size and layout:

Hostel Room Space & Layout

Rooms are described as spacious and well-furnished, with enough room for multiple occupants (typically 3 per room) and essential furniture like beds, study desks, and wardrobes — according to student reviews from recent batches. 

Some students report that the rooms feel more like flat-style units with a hall and sleeping area, especially in the girls' hostel — this suggests more living space than typical cramped hostel rooms.

Rooms generally include attached bathrooms (at least in many units) and good ventilation. 

Common Areas & Facilities

The campus includes common rooms, TV rooms, indoor games spaces, and social areas within the hostel and campus. 

There are separate common spaces (TV room, recreation areas) for students to relax and socialize, which are maintained as part of the hostel infrastructure.

The overall campus has dedicated common areas such as waiting lounges, indoor game rooms, amphitheatre, yoga/dance studios, and cafeteria spaces that contribute to a roomy and student-friendly environment.
