ESCP-EAP does not provide housing. The school, however, provides you with a list of which students can contact individually.

Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.

French is a hard language to learn. I was very eager to learn French when i first arrive. However, i was getting more and more demotivated by the attitudes from the French; snobby. I still studied French all along though.
