ESC Lille is a good choice for international students as there is not a huge amount of international students therefore you form a closer bond. It is an amazing experience and I would recommend it to anyone. Read Review

HOUSING

Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Apartments and Houses tend to be more spacious and you also have the opportunity to live with other people while still being able to have time to yourself.
Personal comments:
ESC Lille does not have any university accomodation therefore you have to find your accomodation yourself, although there are apartments nearby.
