Q: Describe a typical day at IILM University- what do you do from the time you wake up till you go to sleep?
Ans: A typical day kicks starts with a refreshing jog (on the days I don’t turn my alarm off), followed by a breakfast with friends. At 9:00 am, it’s time for my first lecture and mostly we have 5 to 6 lectures scheduled for a day. There are some days in the week when we spend time in the auditorium for some interesting seminars and discussions. Lunch is a great time to catch up with classmates and swap stories. In the afternoon, I dive into case studies or gear up for our next moot court competition-it’s like preparing for a legal showdown! Evenings it is just hanging out and enjoying impromptu jam sessions with friends. After dinner, we often have study groups that somehow blend intense discussions with a lot of laughs. To wind down, I might watch a favourite series, read something interesting, or just chat late into the night with my roommates.
No two days are ever the same, and that's what makes it all so fun!
