HEC is one of the leading business school in Europe. The academical life is good and very french oriented. For international students at Graduate level, I will recommand to follow the major Management International. A trully international class with good professors. The rest, you will enjoy it.

HEC is a very organized university: we have fun in the Campus, exchange students feel confortable, but they push us in studying hard too, and they give us good opportunities

The experinnce I'm living is very important to me: I' m experiencing a lot about contacts with other people, about introducing myself in a totally new contest. This is not always easy to do and succeed, but I'm trying hard..International experiences are really TOTAL experiences: you learn about language, behaviour, attitude, culture, general culture, self esteem.

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

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)

Even I knew that the campus was far from Paris, I couldn't imagine how difficult can be sometimes going there.

The university does not organize trips around France (except from skiing trip) so you need to arrenge it yourself and in advance. Otherwise, you wil have to pay more.

I wish I had known...
I wish I would have known that rent was so high. also absence of kitchen in the dorm was an unpleasent surprise. And of course the time it takes to commute to Paris (from 40 min to 2 hours depending on strikes or construction works that happen way too often in France)

Do not have very high expectations!
Learn some basic French to be able to get around.
Apply for CAF the moment you arrive on campus (CAF is a student support for rent from French government, up to 200 euros per month, to apply go to the website www.caf.fr - there you would need your basic French by the way)

Bring a car with you - makes life a lot easier!!!
Involve in extra-curricular activities - it's a fun way to spend your days on campus.

- Go to the Normandie (Mont St. Michel,...) and Britagne. It's beautiful up there
- Spend as much time in Paris as possible (you will love the city!!!).
