Final comments

Going about the campus is not easy if you don't have a car. Likewise, Paris is not that far, but the train connections are a bit cumbersome. Generally a good experience, got to know some nice people.

Personal recommendation

The academic experience depends a lot on the major you choose. Apparently some of them are of very high quality (finance, marketing), mine was not. The local people at HEC come from upper social class and thus are not average French people. I felt that they were a little bit proud sometimes and everybody were not friendly. Students at HEC are also often very intelligent, a bit older and have already one or two diplomas.

The overall experience was positive. Living at a campus was a whole new thing for me and it was interesting. Anyway I think that 4 moths of campus life is enough for me and next time I would like to live in the city! ;-)
