Personal comments
The campus once offered its own club/bar (I think this doesn't exist anymore) which I always enjoyed. The area around the campus is appropriate for the student's life and is particularly interesting for those like me who appreciate fashion and design.

Personal recommendation
The school should definitely organize more events, activities, and networking occasions in partnership with other schools. Since I have just graduated I look forward to see more events dedicated to us Alumni, which can be very important for my current career.

Final comments
Studying at the European School of Economics was a wonderful experience filled with, creating new friendships from all over the world, learning culture, traveling, and learning from my self and how I can become a successful person. Being able to travel to Italy, London, Spain allowed me to experience life through a completely new perspective. I am so grateful for my academic learning opportunity that ESE has given me, through it’s professors, that aim to push your thinking, and expand your knowledge in a whole new way.

I stayed with two other students and my overall experience was good. I wish the house was a bit closet to the school though!

Course recommendations
The lecturers/students rate at ESE is great if you like smaller classes and better attention from your professors. I don't recommend the school to those who enjoy bigger classes (25+ studs). I've always been able to get in touch with both my professors and school's staff when needed.

The school was fair with me although I would improve the school's intranet, which I didn't find useful at all times.
