I'm an exchange student in the Reims campus in the academic year of 2023-2024. I think this campus is good for an exchange experience because there are a lot of exchange students and even the french people who come to the grad school don't live in Reims, so basically everyone on the campus is new to the city and wants to form a bond. In terms of academic experience, I think Sciences Po system is really controlling. Their attendance policy is really strict and all the classes have an assignment for the week, either a presentation or an evaluation, which makes the semester exhausting since the beginning. Also, I didn't like the fact that in some classes there are only presentations made by students and no later explanation by the professor. I don't like this method because I think the students only focus on preparing their presentation and we don't really pay attention to the presentation of the other classmates as much as we would pay as if the professor was presenting. To summarize, I still love some of my classes, but I had higher expectations about Sciences Po's method, since it's the best political sciences university in Europe, which made me a little disappointed.

As an international student attending the MBA WINE AND SPIRITS BUSINESS program and spending 32 thousand euros (besides the need of quitting my job, move, find an accommodation and change lifestyle) I would say that the school is worth less then half of what it costs. The only good aspects of it are the big students’ communities, the commitment of the international office and the quality of some teachers who cannot really give their best because they’re hampered by the strict organisation of the school programs. Administration, services and the overall school organisation are really below expectations and the educational level is just average despite the cost and the “reputation”. Everyone (classmates, other international students and french ones from all courses and years) complained about the fact that “the school used to be a good one, but now is just bad”!

I really enjoyed my time at LCB! I've found that my skills when I entered the work force were much higher than others. I think though there was a big portion missing in recipe development and composition. True- we did learn it through memorizing the recipes, but we really were missing classes on how different ingredients affect the final textures.. how you can change them... etc. That I still am not an expert in .. and I create recipes! Ouf! Also, I don't know if you still do a month of sugar work... but that really wasn't necessary and should be either cut or minimized to just 2 lessons. It's such a niche skill to know that I would have really preferred more technical skills. I loved the old location. The "rumors" I'm getting about the new location are that it's not as good, unfortunately - that i's become more of a money focused/marketing machine. I really hope that this image can be fixed as I love LCB and enjoyed my time there! Oh also - there should be more help for students to get jobs and featuring old students accomplishments - from cookbook launches to new bakeries so that current and old students can support them.
I found a tight-knit community at Ecole Vatel, with valuable networking and experiential learning opportunities. The intimate setting allows professors to tailor their guidance, equipping students with applicable knowledge and skills. This personalized approach motivated me to reach my full potential and feel better about transitioning into the workforce.
