Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Because the school is totally outside of Paris, next to a really small village, so there isn't another choice if you don't want to drive 1 hour to the school each morning.

Personal comments
- As the accomodition was on the campus, it never took me more than 5 minutes to arrive to the class.
- I really missed a common area to meet other students, to watch television, etc... and also a kitchen! Or at least a fridge.
- And I also missed a shop for foods or drinks on the campus
- But a good thing: there was a cleaning lady to clean regularly every room!
- The room was quite expensive for me (2250 FF/month), being a Hungarian, so as a result of long discussions with the residence and the financial service, I managed to share a room with an other friend. So it's possible, but be tough! In France, nothing is simple...

Academic
Course recommendations
- More theoretical studies, not only case studies and case studies and case studies...A mixture of these two would be the ideal!

Overall
I wish I had known...
I knew it, but you should also know that it's not Paris at all! It's 30 kms from Paris, which can be 1,5 hour without a car. So if you can, bring your car!
And it's always raining!!! Brrrrrg.... :-( So don't forget your umbrella!
But the campus is really nice and huge with a lake and so many sporting facilities. And it's fun!

It was a very nice surprise that we didn't have to pay at all for text books, we received them all for free, before the classes.
The best tip for cost-saving could be to share your room with a friend.

Was learning French a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
Language difficulties
Administrative / Institutional
Personal comments
We had equally the possibility to take courses in French and English, and to practice both of them (wrinting essays, giving presentations, etc). I only regret that the text of all case studies were in English, so I couldn't improve my written French as much I wanted.
