Personal recommendation
HEC is one of the leading business school in Europe. The academical life is good and very french oriented. For international students at Graduate level, I will recommand to follow the major Management International. A trully international class with good professors. The rest, you will enjoy it.

Personal comments
As cost-saving tips, only one simple advice: stay on campus as much as it is possible. You will save a lot on food, drinks, telephone bills. A cheaper supermaket is just 500m from the campus, do your shopping in Attac.
