An ERASMUS grant

Work opportunities:

Personal spending habits

I considered my year studying abroad as a once-in-a-lifetime experience and so did not consider the financial implications of my activities as much as I might have done at home. My main expense came from travelling, as I took advantage of being on the European mainland. I do not regret spending more on my year abroad, as I had an incredible year and have benefitted enormously in so many ways.

Housing, Telephone, Overall, Travel:

was more expensive than at home.

Nightlife, Food:

was the same price as at home.

Personal comments

Apply for your CAF (government grant to students) early. I received 150 Euros a month from the French government, which helped a great deal with my rent. A lot of money can be saved by buying as much as you can from the local market rather than supermarkets, and food is often of a much higher quality too. I didn't have too many financial surprises. Travel was a lot cheaper than expected: a student railcard can save you 50% on domestic and international travel. The only negative surprise I had was my English mobile phone bill. Even if you do not use your phone you are charged everytime somebody leaves a message on your voicemail. I would recommend leaving any English mobile phones at home and getting a French phone when you arrive.

“Rennes School of Business”

Overall

First of all, the school is very welcoming and has a warm atmosphere. This is probably due to the fact that a little bit more than the half of students on the campus are strangers and plan on making new friends and creating opportunities. Although the main study topic is management, we get to study more of global business. Assignements such as Marketing, Supply Chain, Finances, Accounting and many more. Let me add that most of the teachers are passionate and experienced since they come from different environments. They explain their jobs well.

Careers

The school last 3 years. Each year has their interships. First year was 3 months of intership. Second year is at least 4 months and the final year, we get to study 6 months abroad and 6 months in an intership.

Pros

It's diversity

Cons

Sports infrastructures

Travel as much as you can, cause who knows when you are going to be in France again! But it's also very costly!!! Try to safe as much as possible before you arrive and you'll be able to travel even more.
