Course recommendations
The course load was challenging and the PC lab was usually croweded. The teachers and classemates were excellent but if there were more French students that would have been even better!

I chose the MBA prgram because it was in English. All professors were English mother tongue, so this was good. But I found it difficult to practice and improve my French.

Final comments
I think Paris is a great place to be for a student. You learn from the city as much as the courses. ESLSCA is at the center, so this helps. It is good to budget for some travel, short trips, in the serounding towns and regions such as Normandie or to go to Amsterdam for weekend. It is also good to go to trade fairs in Paris. Some of them are unique and offer a good learning experience.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Living with a family had a lot of benefits but these came with certain constraints. It is better to be by yourself in a city like Paris!
