Personal recommendation
Good University, benefits from being close to Atlantic and Med as well as the mountains for skiing in winter. However, it is fairly small so may become a little claustrophobic. Best combination is 6months at ESC Pau, 6months working.

J'étudie actuellement à l'ESC Pau, je suis en deuxième année et cela a été une très bonne experiences jusqu'a aujourd'hui. J'ai pu réaliser plusieurs stages que ce soit en France ou à l'étranger. Cela m'a permis d'être plongé directement dans le monde de travail, mais aussi les cours proposés sont très variés et intéressants.
