A typical day on GIBS' s vast 10-acre campus incorporates many facets of learning, experience and an active campus life. Morning classes take place in centrally air-conditioned digital classrooms. Here professors connect the concepts of theory with application via several methods; mostly through the use of case studies, presentations, and interactive discussions.

Students interact with one another during break periods in many open green spaces throughout the campus, as well as in coffee shops, where students go for a brief period of looking up information on the internet, and to work on group projects together.

Afternoon class schedules include time spent in computer labs and working on live-projects, reviewing internships or completing industry-focused sessions. Some afternoons include industry-related sessions done by audio or video conference with guest speakers or instructors, and are held in GIBS' s fully-equipped seminar rooms and auditoriums.

After class ends students can be seen engaging in a variety of activities organized by the clubs at GIBS; practicing for an upcoming sporting event, rehearsing for an upcoming cultural performance, or getting ready for placement testing. Evening hours are very much more laidback than daytime hours and can include relaxing on GIBS' s gardens, getting in a game on the racquetball courts, and working together to prepare for upcoming competitions. Overall, when a student spends a full day on GIBS campus, it will balance out their experiences to provide them with an appropriate educational foundation and opportunities for leadership, as well as developing their personal skills, in a professional but energetic environment.

Students consistently describe GIBS faculty as being involved and supportive of students through events, during sessions on-orientation and mentoring on campus. At orientation programs, professors have been described as approachable guides, helping new students better understand the program's curriculum, expectations, and learning culture, easing their transition into management studies and building their confidence towards the program. At events and interactive sessions, faculty have often acted as moderators/mentors/judges, sharing real-world experiences and encouraging active student participation in the learning process. Many students have mentioned that they can contact their professors outside class hours for questions and support regarding their projects and career paths, and that the faculty fosters an environment of learning and development.
