Textbooks are rarely used...plan on taking GOOD notes. Not many exams during the semesters so your grade is basically calculated just from your final exam.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?

The Rafiot is nice, lots of trips to take, definatly go to the EDHEC if you get the chance with the school, the rest just depends on your personal likes and dislikes.
