ESSEC BBA : It's worth it

Essec BBA is a well known program if you want to attend a business school. The teaching is qualitative as the teachers usually are reputed experts in their fields. As far as it concerns the campus, you cannot complain about the diversity and quality of high tech equipment or the comfortable auditoriums. Pretty much everything is made for you to feel at ease and evolve as an ESSEC student. One of the rare things I could point out is the school campus location which is pretty much isolated and a bit far from the centre of Paris, otherwise, you can take public transport, easy to use and practical for your everyday student life.

Erasmus stay

KASK was my host university for my Erasmus studies. It was the first time my university sent someone for Erasmus and they helped with all posible, they provided me with a spot in the residence, and with an internship in one of the professor's architecture studio. Clases are mostly in dutch, so it's not the most suitable place for an Erasmus student, still the teacher always offered to stay after class to go throw the main points in order to make sure I would understand. They also organise trips for the students, they would even put me in contact with a local student in case I would have any doubts, so she would help me out. The building was absolutely beautiful and quite close to the center. Public transport is a close option, but the best to move around and go to the university is the bike. Will definitely go say hi next time I go back to Ghent.
