If Campuses resemble micro-cities, it's because
- institutions would rather provide for everything a student needs on campus,
- than drive them beyond the gates to meet their personal and social needs.
- Changes on a campus have to correspond with the world outside, given that students spend considerable time here
Campus luxuries in those days stopped short at
- hot water,
- bug-free mattresses and
- edible meals.
- Laundry
These days, however, students are living the upgrade malls.
- Spas having steam and sauna centres,
- hospital and
- Restaurant
- Gym
- salons
- pizza joints
- Juice shops
- bowling alleys dot
- a yoga center
- merchandise,
- books and stationery,
- laptops,
- mobile phones and accessories,
- gift shops,
- sports and fitness equipment and
- test prep companies
- swimming pool
- travel desk
- post office
- forex station
Revenue Model
"If each student spends a conservative Rs 5,000 per annum on campus — food, stationary, etc — consider the additional revenue an institution could earn, following either a
- revenue-sharing or
- property lease model with retail vendors,"
