Personal comments
The best place to go when you arrive in London is to go to a pub like "The Waxxy O'Connors", "the Waxxy Little sister"," the Tavern" in Piccadelly or Oxford street. You have also many nightclubs like " Le café de Paris", "The ministry of sound", "The Fabric"...which are very good if you like techno music.I did not go to the theatre as it was quite expensive but you have plenty of them.

Course recommendations
I would have enjoy to get more case studies in Marketing. I would have expected some visits organised into companies to further develop operational aspects of classes (tutorial case study related with a company strategic problem)

As I was an independent student, I would have appreciated to get an induction programme with the overall foreigners and English people.

Course recommendations
The main problem was the fact that too many French students were part of my course. As a french student, the feeling to study abroad was sometimes limited.

Personal comments
The balance between exams at the end of the course (final exam) and exams throughout the course was quite fair. Besides, I think teachers have taken into consideration the fact that we were foreign students.

Personal comments
They should pay more attention to foreign students because most of them had a different way of studiyng in their home country and at the begginning it was quite difficult to change my way of learning and writting.

Personal spending habits
The overall level of expense is more important in London than in Paris. Besides, I was used to live with my own family in Paris what was more expensive. For example, food and housing was shared between the members of the family.
Finally, I spent more in travel because of my trips to Paris to visit my family.
