European Universities for my Placement year.... which of these are best?

Question

Hi,

I am doing a placement year as part of my International Business degree, and have been given a selection of possible Universities to study at.

I was wondering which one you would recommend.

I am looking for somewhere that would be good to meet new people, and be not too expensive.

If you have any information about which of these Universities are best for Business, I would really appreciate your help....

The Universities are:

Audencia Nantes Ecole de Management [France]

Bordeaux Business School [France]

Grenoble Business School [France]

RSM Erasmus University [Netherlands]

Thank you.... :)

Answer 1

Can you speak to any of the students who went last year, maybe, and ask them about their experiences?

My experience with French universities (and others have found the same) is that it's not easy to meet new people - at least, not French people. They tend to be at their local university and all go home at the weekend - also their friendships have been in place for many, many years and it can be extremely hard to get involved. I made many friends at Bordeaux. Not one of them was French.
