I wish I had known...

You should bring your own sheets, blankets and pillows with you (you will appreciate that when you see those provided by HEC) - or you buy one after arriving there

In my opinion:

Final comments

You should go there by car or at least know someone who owns one. The campus is really (!) far away from Paris and urban transportation systems are functioning, but you still have to go to the train station (which is anapprox. 20 min footwalk away)

Final comments

For all the tourists: usually 50% discount for students to buy museum tickets, plus check the schedule: free access on particular days to everyone. For students under 24 or 25: buy a special card => significant discounts for railway tickets. Use to plan your trip by train: http://www.voyages-sncf.com http://www.transilien.com/web/site Rent bikes at night!! And have an unforgettable rout along the night Paris=))

Course recommendations

I was doing CEMS program courses, they differ from the rest. If you are doing CEMS and into marketing I would strongly recommend to do a luxury certificate - intensive course on marketing strategies for luxury companies.

Exhange students should have opportunities to suit their home universities academic background. HEC should be more flexible with exchange students.
