Whenever someone thought of studying commerce in Pakistan, Hailey College would be the first option, choice and wish of all. And no doubt Hailey has maintain its standards for so many years but from 1999 to 2007-08 it has faced a downfall in its studying standards due to so many reasons including bad management, lack of interest by the formal Principal and lazy attitude of students. But now after the new Principal has took over the charge standards are improving and improving fast. On campus I saw students with proper dressing like ready to be launch in market, teachers are taking their classes regularly, staff is becoming cooperative and you got a very well settled library. Overall its a good place to be and study commerce but mind one thing, its not Co man...oh yes Hailey is not having co classes so prepare your mind if you are going there.
HISTORY: After since Hailey's Establishment in 4Th March 1927 when Sir Ganga Ram donated "Nabha House" for this purpose. Name was given on the name of that time's Governor of Punjab Sir Malcolm Hailey. First they started 3 year degree program in commerce and achieved high level of standards in excellence of education.

So many students were talking about the Co education in Hailey.
FACILITIES: Class rooms are not quit good you may say old fashionad like there is no mulitimedia in most of the classes. Computer lab is not well equiped and many computers ara outdated.
