Being extremely high ranked internationally, HEC Paris is probably one of the best choices to get to the top jobs. Not necessarily for the skills provided per se, since the quality of the classes is not as demanding as I would have thought in the first place. But the networking opportunities with professors, corporate partners and colleagues is just priceless. Well not exactly, since you actually pay quite a lot to study in Jouy-en-Josas, \"la forêt\" as we call it.
Which leads me to another topic: the fact that you\'re surrounded by a forest and 1h30 away from Paris. Which can be great, since your networking targets cant run away, but not if you\'re planning to party in \"Showcase\" one of the posh clubs in the centre city.
Well but generally speaking the experience was very nice and I would definitely repeat it. There is the \"Party of the Week\" or POW with open bar every Thursday, resulting in big headaches, great pictures to share with your future employers and a lot of crazy stories to tell your grandchildren when you\'re old. The \"International Spirit\" group is always very active, trying hard to integrate everyone and make us all feel as comfortable as possible.
Also the campus is REALLY nice (except maybe for the gym and the canteen which suck). It has a huge park full of rugby and tennis courts and a nice lake to go for a walk with your girl (up to you what you do over there).
As you can, HEC Paris is a fun place to spend a semester or two ;)
