HEC Paris

Well, the housing was really clean, and light, a bit small either. But i like how the space was organized: long desk for studying, wardrobes, some shelves from Ikea, a draw under the bed, a common door for the room and a bathroom. Yeah, by the way, i was luck cause i had private bath room and toilet, as most of the students had to share there bath between 2 people, and had common toilet - 1 in each floor. As i told, i did not like there were no kitchens, and the food in the canteen was not the best, actually =)) We had to eat something typical for French - like "bloody beefs" etc )) haha. And there were many opportunities for doing sport: volleyball, tennis, jogging etc. What is very important for me either. I think it is good the campus is located out of the city, as the weather is much warmer than in St.Petersburg, and living in the city would be too stuffy.

- As the accomodition was on the campus, it never took me more than 5 minutes to arrive to the class. - I really missed a common area to meet other students, to watch television, etc... and also a kitchen! Or at least a fridge. - And I also missed a shop for foods or drinks on the campus - But a good thing: there was a cleaning lady to clean regularly every room! - The room was quite expensive for me (2250 FF/month), being a Hungarian, so as a result of long discussions with the residence and the financial service, I managed to share a room with an other friend. So it's possible, but be tough! In France, nothing is simple...

- Don't miss the Thursday parties! - To get to Paris, the easiest way without a car is to hitch-hike at the entrance of the campus.

We traveled a lot, as France is in the middle of Europe. It was great to visit Chateaux de la Loire, Luxemburg, Netherlands.
