Personal comments
Angers is not really a town with an amazing nightlife. Angers does have many pubs and cafes, but they are often small and pokey establishments which each feed off a very tiny number of regular customers. Most internationals during Jan-May 2002 hung out at either the James Joyce pub, the Dupon bar, or sometimes at the Sunset bar or L'Okapi. But I hardly had time for study because all the international students bonded together so well. All of us had turns in hosting house parties which were definitely the highlight of ESSCA's social life. It made for a very unique experience. Us internationals arranged a pub crawl though Angers, the concept of which seemed to be either incomprehensible or not good for business by the proprietors of some of the various small pubs (those familiar with students were more accommodating). A few reasonable dance clubs and band venues exist, but they are mostly out of town, without a car they can be hard to get to. One dance club, Le Metro, provides a free bus service from downtown Angers. During afternoons of good weather the cafes in Place du Railliement were quite relaxing to sit in for a chat and a chill out (Au Bureau or Le Theatre cafe). Beware Sundays in Angers, it can be very boring since everything is pretty much closed. The cinema "Les 400 Coups" screens many English language and foreign films in original version (with French subtitles). ESSCA's own BDE (student body) and AIESEC organise many nights out, in particular a few trips to Paris to go nightclubbing, and a few big bar nights in La Kaz (ESSCA's student bar), all of which the internationals were a big presence. I rate the social experience so high only because the internationals during my semester made such a good group and more than made up for any lack of interesting nightlife.

Master Conseil à l'ESSCA

Overall
L'ESSCA se distingue des autres écoles car c'est un établissement post-bac: pas besoin de faire de prépa pour intégrer l'établissement. Avec du recul, je conseillerais tout de même à un.e lycéen.ne d'effectuer une licence/ IUT avant d'intégrer une école "post-prépa" plus prestigieuse. En effet, la classe préparatoire n'est selon moi plus la voie royale pour intégrer une très bonne école (hors top 3).

Si vous souhaitez tout de même faire une école post-bac, l'ESSCA demeure un très bon choix pour deux raisons: elle possède des établissements à l'international (Shanghai & Budapest) et un très bon réseau (l'école a plus de 100 ans et est connu de tous les recruteurs).

Expérience à l'ESSCA : école de commerce
Ella D

Overall
Je suis actuellement à l'ESSCA en programme grande école. Je trouve cette école plutôt bonne pour une école post bac (ayant rattrapé celle-ci après une CPGE). En effet, elle inclue bien les élèves au sein de l'école et fait en sorte d'accompagner ceux-ci tout au long de leur scolarité. Ainsi, on se sent écouter et soutenue par les différents corps enseignants. De  plus, les professeurs sont dans la plupart pédagogues et intéressants grâce à leur carrière et leurs diverses expériences. Par contre, le seul bémol qui peut être mise en lumière c'est le manque d'organisation de l'administration ayant donc pour effet une mauvaise transmission des informations.

Malheursement, je n'ai encore eu l'occasion de faire un stage. Je suis en pleine recherche. Et je remarque que ma recherche de stage n'est pas forcément éclairé par l'ESSCA.

Pretty good School.

Overall
I've been studying at ESSCA Paris for a year now and overall my experience has been pretty adequate. The teaching style is a bit different, professors need to follow a set of presentations created by the course coordinator based in Angers. The profs are mostly entrepreneurs with quite a lot of experience (which may or may not be as a teacher). 
The teaching style is pretty different from what you'd expect, but over time you'll get used to it. Great and passionate teachers for languages (I enrolled for the mandarin course, it's really cool)
Prepare yourself for tons of presentations and group projects.

un véritable esprit solidaire

Overall
Je suis très satisfaite de ma première année à l'ESSCA, école ou j'ai pu définitivement trouver ma voie. Les professeurs font preuves de professionnalisme. Ils sont passionnés par ce qu'ils enseignent et toujours à l'écoute de leurs étudiants. Si je devais me permettre de critiquer un point de l'école, c'est malheureusement la communication. C'est un point sur lequel l'administration devrait travailler car nous pouvons être informé d'évènements/examens très importants très tardivement ou de manière incohérente. Cependant, je suis très satisfaite de cette école et pour rien au monde je ne changerais.

Final comments
Very important thing is to find out all the advantages of beeing a student in that country, i mean discounts for traveling, transport and etc. Also to find out all the social programs which are gonna be organized in nearest future and if possible to take part in all organized social events, because they are always very interesting. Abroad you have to accept many strange things for you, you must integrate into the life of local people. It is a very good experience. Also meeting of so many international student is a big fun, and you are living very interesting life. After such experience you have many friend all over the world.
