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.

Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because if you stay for one year you really need more than 10m²!
Personal comments:
Housing was a bit expensive compared to what other students payed in Toulouse, but atmosphere was great!!
