EDHEC Nice

if you go to Nice (France in general), don't forget to apply for the CAF (grant for the rent, even to foreigners). another hint: all museums in France are free on the first Sunday every month. one thing I would do differently the next time is to prepare myself better as far as language skill is concerned, I have to admit that I overestimated the once-you-are-in-the-country-effect and had some difficulties at the beginning.

If you're in it to learn something, try something else. If you're in it to have fun under blue skies, meet loads of international students and want to increase your knowledge of the French language, go here. One tip which will save you a lot of frustration on travelling and getting across town: buy a scooter. It will cost you virtually no money at all, as you will be able to sell it at a good price when you leave. Also, get a local bank-account for Carte Bleu; saves frustration at registers when your card from home is not accepted.

The school does not have any accommodation as one it is too small and two most of the students commute, therefore there is no need to provide accommodation. Finding housing in Nice is difficult due to the demand from students and professionals alike. If you do find housing you often do not get very much for your money especially if you want to live right in the centre. My school was situated a 30 min bus journey from nice centre, i choose to live in the old part as it is where all the shops are etc and if you want to go out at night it is easier to get home. However being located in the centre means that accommodation is generally smaller, more expensive and not to such a high standard as it is nearer the university and airport.

if you intend to go to Nice try and find accommodation before coming otherwise arrive a good week before you start your course so that you have time to search for nice accommodation rather than having to put up with the something as it is better than not having antwhere else to live.
