What’s life on campus like?
Well, to start with, the campus is strikingly beautiful, with
aesthetic buildings and well-maintained gardens. Although cut off
from the noise and pollution of the main road, a short walk will
reach you to the main road from where most of the city is easily
accessible.
| The hostels are
on campus, and the main college buildings are most
conveniently located just a short walk away. The campus is
also attached to the Anna University campus, so going to Anna
University for paperwork, to swim, to play Tennis or simply to
eat at their brilliant canteen is no trouble at all. Since the
campus and adjoining land is lush green, there is no dearth of
fascinating birds on campus, often, we are visited by deer
from the nearby areas. And of course, we have our pet dogs on
campus, the favorites being Stata and E-views. Jr. names after
statistical software. |

Most students stay on campus,
and one of MSE’s best features is the closely-knit and
integrated residential community. Birthdays (with the
inevitable pretending to be surprised that the whole hostel is
there to wish you at midnight), and festivals such as Diwali
and Holi are celebrated with much gusto. The students at MSE
come from various backgrounds, both cultural and educational.
Where else will you find an engineer from Calcutta, a Delhi
University Economics student and a Physics student from
Madurai poring over Time Series!
Even while grappling with rigorous course work and what
seems like never ending tests and assignments, students at MSE
do manage to squeeze in fun activities as well. Even when
working on problem sets, term papers or swotting for exams,
we’re playing hard too. |
| Some of our students are on
the Anna University Sports teams, but the rest of us ensure we
play cricket, volleyball and badminton on campus. Cricket,
particularly is a passion with students. We also try and throw
in the occasional trek. For those with more delicate
sensibilities, we have a movie club that screens movies
regularly; we also have SPIC MACAY programmes.
Eating out appears to be another passion amongst MSEites
(no no, we’re not saying the mess is bad!) and we ensure we
get out once in a while and visit the beach if not anything
else. Chennai also has a marvelous cultural life, and if you
love concerts, food and movies, it definitely is the place to
be.

‘Arthiki’ our annual Economics fest is yet another reason to
launch into excited meetings and discussions, in 2007, Arthiki was
held on the 7th of March, with many events like Quiz, Essay
Writing, Crossword, Crisis Management etc.
