EDHEC Nice

the university has many international students therefore the language which is spoken between us is that. All my course was in french so we had to speak and listen to french with regards to lectures, group work, seminars and communicating to staff. The staff in charge of international students can speak fluent english which helps when there is difficulty expressing what you need to know.

if you intend to go to Nice try and find accommodation before coming otherwise arrive a good week before you start your course so that you have time to search for nice accommodation rather than having to put up with the something as it is better than not having antwhere else to live.

The school does not have any accommodation as one it is too small and two most of the students commute, therefore there is no need to provide accommodation. Finding housing in Nice is difficult due to the demand from students and professionals alike. If you do find housing you often do not get very much for your money especially if you want to live right in the centre. My school was situated a 30 min bus journey from nice centre, i choose to live in the old part as it is where all the shops are etc and if you want to go out at night it is easier to get home. However being located in the centre means that accommodation is generally smaller, more expensive and not to such a high standard as it is nearer the university and airport.

I spent alot of time at Waynes and Thors which are international bars which have live bands on every night, i also spent alot of time in french bars such as zoom, la suite, les trois diabalos, ghost which are located in the old town (where most of the bars, clubs and restaurants are). Nice is very expensive to go out but its so cosmopolitan and vibrant so everone should find something that they will enjoy as there is endless choice of where to go. With regards to clubs i went to the Dizzy club which is down by the port, quite funky and plays good music- R n B, house and hip hop.In addition there is Saramanga which is on the Promenade des Anglais which again plays cool music and is free for girls to get into. there is others aswell such as Escalier and Checkpoint but these in my opinion were not as good.
