Past Review
By Rebecca W (Finance and Financial Management Services., The University of Texas at Austin) for
Ecole Superieure De Commerce De Paris: Paris - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
I loved the program and had independence to do what I wanted, however there were times when I would have preferred to have access to the amenities of arranged programs such as group trips and housing.

| Comments: | It was a very challenging class and students who were unable to comprehend the material struggled. I found it easy if you studied the material, but many students did have difficulty. You have to actually pay attention during class and do your homework which many students didn't chose to do. |
