My Erasmus exchange in Barcelona, at EAE Business School, was one of the best experiences of my student life. I was lucky enough to live in a sunny city, full of energy, between the sea, tapas, terraces and a unique atmosphere.

At school, the classes were dynamic, with lots of group work and discussions, which allowed me to progress in a different way. I also improved my Spanish and English on a daily basis.

But what I remember most are the people I met: students from all over the world, with whom I shared unforgettable moments. Erasmus is much more than just studying abroad, it's a real human adventure, which I highly recommend! 

I am a third-year student in the American Track Grande Ecole Programme at IPAG Business School in Nice. I had the opportunity to study abroad in London at the University of Greenwich during the first semester of this year. This experience was extremely enriching, both academically and personally.

I took very interactive classes in an international environment, which allowed me to improve my English and develop my confidence in speaking. Life in London is dynamic, cultural, and full of wonderful encounters. I highly recommend this destination! It is the perfect city to grow in an English-speaking environment while having access to many opportunities.

My advice for future Ipagians: dare to step out of your comfort zone, enjoy every moment and get to know other international students!

A memorable moment: the student parties where people of all nationalities mingled, it was a real cultural treasure.

I am a third-year student at IPAG Business School in Nice, enrolled in the Grande École Programme (Main Track). For my university exchange, I spent five months in Malaysia at the University of Utara Malaysia (UUM), accompanied by two other IPAG students.  

The university is huge, located in the middle of the jungle, with snack bars, cafés, deer, ostriches (yes, really) and buses to get around the campus because it is so big. I took courses in English focused on marketing and events, in an atmosphere very different from that of IPAG, but just as enriching.

In terms of accommodation, it's shared and fairly basic, so you have to adapt and lower your standards of living. Life there is very affordable, which allowed us to travel extensively: Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, the Malaysian islands...   An unusual anecdote: as we were the only Europeans, the local students often took photos of us discreetly and, for the less shy ones, they asked us directly to take selfies as if we were stars.

We were introduced to the Chancellor in a huge lecture theatre during a welcome ceremony in our first week, and were even chosen for a video call with the Prime Minister from among all the international students (who never showed up, but anyway...).

An experience unlike any other but one that makes for a good story today!

I am a third-year student at IPAG, in the American Track programme. I had the opportunity to go on an unforgettable experience in the United States, in Los Angeles, where I studied at California State University Long Beach. Academically, the courses were fascinating, very focused on international business, with an interactive approach that I really enjoyed. The campus was huge, very modern, and full of activities.

But what I remember most is the Californian atmosphere: the sun, the cultural diversity, the incredible landscapes... between beaches, mountains and deserts, I discovered a lifestyle that was both cool and stimulating, in the heart of a hyper-dynamic economic ecosystem.  

This expatriation allowed me to gain independence, improve my English, and experience true immersion. If I had to give one piece of advice to future Ipagians: be curious, expand your comfort zone... and above all, eat burgers and enjoy yourself to the fullest!
