HOUSING

Marketing and Sales Management, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because i'm accustom to living alone in a flat
Personal comments:
There is only one person in charge and she is simply swamped with all the work. Furthermore we had to pay 5 rental fees for 4 months + our rental fee was far over market price. However the flat was ok and it saved me a lot of time and worries. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

An internship of 6 months will add value to the MBA program
My opinion of the university assessment

Some teachers lacked teaching experience and this was at times visible. More experienced teachers should be attracted if possible. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

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: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
The Quebecois accent is ver different to the Parisian french you get taught in schools. At the beginning it can be a shock but after a coupls of weeks you get used to it. There is plenty of opportunity to improve, but if you are really stuck, you can always talk english. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
