Personal spending habits
Living in Oxford is far more expensive than in France. It is as simple as that ! But you can earn a lot of money if you get a job in banking in London. I do not think Oxford is expensive if you consider your studies as an investment.

Academic
Course recommendations
You will have many group projects with other nationalities. Be prepared to work in a real multicultural environment. Regard theory, I think the school is not beyond its peers.

Final comments
The UK campus of ESCP-EAP will move to London in a near future. It will change the atmosphere between students. Life will be more expensive but at the same time you will have greater opportunities for a highly-paid job.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
The house is the best choice for Oxford because it enables you to live with your friends and also because it will save your money. Living in Oxford is very EXPENSIVE and it is very difficult to find a good rental agency.

Personal comments
Anyway, do not hope that you will live in a big and comfortable house. The "poor" standards of living in Oxford are the same for all in Oxford even for the wealthiest people !
