Student review [#18093] for BBA
at ESSEC Business School

I disliked the experience of this school, it’s located in Cergy which is 30-40 mins away from Paris by the RER. Cergy has absolutely nothing to do, there is a big mall and a lake but that’s about it. It also gets really dangerous at night. The accommodation is pretty expensive for what it is. The first year, I stayed at the university dorm nearest to my school, and the building itself was really old. Some of the professors are good teachers but it’s like some professors assume that all the students know the topic. Technically I had to teach myself a lot during the year and most of the year as well. It’s extremely expensive because it is also a private school, but there aren’t many international students as well. The students are mostly french, and if you don’t know french then you’ll have to figure everything out by yourself. I really regret coming here, I expected the education to be better and more organized, expected way more international students and the services provided by the university was not worth it.
