ESC Toulouse

ESC Toulouse, 20 boulevard Lascrosses, BP 7010, 31068 Toulouse, France
3.61 / 5 based on 90 reviews.
Description:
Founded in 1903 by the Toulouse Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the school's initial vocation was to respond to the needs of the local business community for able business administrators.
Originally housed in a 15th century monastery located in the old town centre, the school's present premises include a downtown campus and an ultra-modern " electronic " campus located on the perimeter of the city. The downtown campus, a blend of aesthetic architectural harmony and functional excellence is located at the heart of the business complex near the centre of metropolitan Toulouse.
The School, one of France's prestigious "Grandes Écoles de Management" was hitherto simply known as ESC Toulouse (École Supérieure de Commerce de Toulouse), delivering a single unique graduate degree to highly selected students. Responding to the needs of the business community the school pursued a vigourous policy of programme development and diversification. The title Groupe ESC Toulouse reflects the results of this policy.
Today Groupe ESC Toulouse, a member of the Toulouse University Consortium, is one of France's leading integrated management centres. Its primary vocation is to prepare students to assume managerial responsabilities by developing their analytical, integrative and interpersonal skills while catering for their needs in the lifelong learning process. We thereby aspire to laying the foundation for leadership in tomorrow's business world.

HOUSING

Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
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 - My choice
If returning, I would choose: student flat
Why? Because one has more contact with exchange students and gets easier integrated.
Personal comments:
Accommodation are quite expensive, especially if you want to live in a furnished room. Here, student residences are common, the advantages are the metro and bus access and the fact that you get to know a lot of people, but they are situated a bit outside the center.

There are a lot of cafes, but I liked to (irish) pubs the most, there is always a nice atmosphere. There are not only students going out, but you will find a lot of older people in while going out.

Overall
Language of instruction: French
Was learning French a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my French
How much did you improve your French?
My level before: Basic phrases
My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
I must admit that one can learn a lot in 5 months, even if one just listens to the teacher during the lessons. You learn most when you need to cope with daily situations.
