Personal comments
Do not let the name HEC Paris fool you. This is in a town called Jouy en Josas if you look carefully on the map. This is Zone 3 where there is no metro but only a train will take you into paris after changing trains. The latest you can stay out in Paris is 10PM if you want to come back to campus. Also the campus is on a hill so it takes 20 minutes walking uphill if you want to get back from the train station.
There is student night life on campus called POW (party of the week) with open bar. However there was recently an incident where a student was beaten so bad by the security gaurds that he had to get several stitches on his jaw.

Course recommendations
I took the major "Europe" and I was disappointed by the quality of the courses. The teachers were mainly externals, not professors.

Personal comments
Studuying at HEC is very practical. Books were not used a lot and there were not a lot of exams. More often the evaluation was base on a case study, a presentation or a study paper. Presence at the courses is mandatory.

You have a large room and a shared shower. The lent for the room was not too high and we got a part of it reimbursed from the French government.
