HOUSING
by Jason, Stockholm School of Economics, Stockholm, Sweden
Business Studies, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Apart from the costs, the place was great. It was behind the school (opposite from the downtown side, where most students live, quite residential area, however lively.
Personal comments:
ESC-Grenoble has no housing arrangements. However for those arriving early, there is a student association operating a building with limited housing opportunities. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
At ESCG the two events not to miss is the Integration Weekend and the Gala. Student associations organise soirées and parties all the time, as well as other schools' student associations. Brilliant way to get to know people. In Grenoble, there are 5 night spots to mention: Les 3 Canards, le Couche-Tard, London Pub and of cousre Le SAXO and le Vertigo (open until 05 am). Everything within walking distance. In the outskirts of town there are much bigger night clubs but they are more expensive + you need a ride! The National Music Festival on June 21st is an event not to miss, it is all over the country with music, concerts, and people everywhere!

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
I followed a program especially designed for students from my home university so I can't reaaly say. I followed half of the Commercial Communication major and it was interesting, though not on a high level. As ESCG is known as a high-tech an innovating business school, I recommend courses within this field (such as information technology & management, entrepreneurship etc.)

Language difficulties
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: At ease in most situations My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
As the exchange semester took place in France it's really necessary to speak the country's language to get into contact with local people and the local authorities. At the university there weren't hardly any problems to follow the courses and there were a lot of international students, so if you wanted you could also speek English with them. Overall my french language skills had improved and got more fluent. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Personal savings Other sources of funding:
MIBP grant Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
I don't know exactly. By the way, for the phone... if you go in france and are you planning to use "Orange" like selfphone operetor, change immidiatelly your mind... it is very expensive, much better SFR. Food, Travel, Overall, Telephone: was more expensive than at home. Nightlife: was the same price as at home. Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
burocracy is "french". When you get GEM, the international office will try to ask you all the kind of assurances, if you insist a little bit and you are european, you don't need all those assurance. Pay attention This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
Nothing comes to mind right now In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
It is a new, very modern school that is rated among the top 7 of French business schools and is highly estimated among recruiters, companies, people in general and so on. The student life is very active and it impressed me. ESCG has good partnerships both in academic and professional terms. Also it has a good location and the area is developing with several construction sites. FINAL COMMENTS
For you ski lovers, this is your Mekka! Grenoble is a great place to be and it is easy to get around. For instance, it is the capital of the Alps, Italy is a 2 or 3 hour drive away, so is Geneva, Switzerland. Paris is 3 hours and Lyon is 1 hour away by train. These are only examples, there are lots of possibilities. A tip is to get the "Carte 12-25" if you're under 25, you get up to 50% off on train fares and there are also other advantages. Before you leave, make sure you have all the papers you can think of plus several copies. You will need them in France as it has a bureaucratic and paper-loving administration. The school explains you what to do and where to go in order to get your visa, which is very important. Also you must register with the Caisse d'Allocations Familiales, it is worth the pain and effort: you get money back on your rent! A really nioce bonus that helps on your budget!!
