My academic experiences
Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
Markeiting courses overall on a very low level, while strategic/management courses were better. Impressing resources such as large computer rooms. Also, some courses were built up as case studies with computer support systems to run different scenarios; interesting but difficult to participate in large groups when your French level is too low... In general, too many courses were managed in a very hierachic way with a teacher preaching for a couple of hours while everybody is sitting quiet and takes notes on their laptops.

Personal comments:
Yes, above all the introduction councelling for foreign students. At this time there was only one incompetent person for over 30 exchange students, who actually just made the situation worse by being unhelpful and giving bad advice. You really had to find out about everything yourself.

Course recommendations:
There is a very strong feeling in France that students from an"School of Commerce" (ESC) come out better prepared than students from state universities... Some companies (French) actually prefer these students... I definately recommend EBP, the possibilities are increased in an international career prospect, also it is great to interact with so many international students (EBP includes 5 universities respectively in UK, FR, D, NL, SP, still, there are about 25 different nationalities involved. If you are french and you can afford it, take a school of commerce.

No, just go with the flow, there is always something happening and the system is competent enough. the school is financialy well equiped so there is a feeling of material support around you, some teachers are actually working on side ventures, companies, R&D, politics...
