Academic
Course recommendations
HEC Lausanne is an excellent school. All courses are very interesting, and given by excellent teachers. But the one I'll remember the most will be "Finance des marchés", given by one of the most amazing teachers I've ever seen. It's definitevely the course where I learned the most.

Why?
The appartment I lived in was close to university, but quite far away for the center of the city. I would like to find another place closer to the center, to be able to meet more people.
