Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Appartement/maison
Pourquoi?
The student residence is near to the campus and the costs are favorable. Although Cergy is not the nicest place to live the community of foreign students compensates a lot.

Commentaire personnel
For foreign student of any partner programm of EPSCI or ESSEC accommodation is organised by the administration. There is of course the possibility to choose an accommodation by own but this is quite difficult. Cergy is just half an hour by RER from Paris but living there is very expensive.
Activités: A lieu principalement à la fac et/ou entre les étudiants
Voyager, Vie nocturne: A lieu surtout en hors campus

Nightlive in Cergy is reduced to organised parties by the university (which are marvellous!!), a few pubs, a nightclub and a few nice restaurants. The school offers a booklet each year where all(!) places are described and quoted. It is useful to have a car in order to go to Paris and there you can find all kind of entertainment!

Recommandation personnelle
Regarding the quality of my studies I would recommand it to everybody. The equipment of ESSEC is very good and there are a lot of student association. The sport facilities are excellent (there is nearly no sport unpossible) and the students pub Foy's is a nice place to have a pint or two. The school is the top business school in France and has an important alumni network. Over 30% of students are from foreign countries and therefore the athmospere is very international.

If using Thalys ask for a "Mini" price. This means you pay less but you have to fix when you want to return in advance. No possibility to change traveling hour.
Students should use the first weeks to visit Paris etc. because later in the semester a lot of group work and essays have to be done. Our second semester is more comfortable and we have time to enjoy events etc.
Apprendre le Français fut un élément important de la décision?

Commentaire personnel
I was able to perfect my french language knowledge. The school offers a huge range of language courses. I choose Spanish and Russian in addition. Some courses are in English which gave me the possibility to improve it, too.
Nightlive in Paris is very expensive (drink and enterance). The costs for accommodation are also higher than in Dortmund and telephone from France Telecom is unfortunately not very cheap.
