Participating in an exchange program offers numerous benefits, such as cultural immersion, personal growth, and academic enrichment. The decision to participate in an exchange semester in Paris was driven by my desire to experience a new culture, enhance my language skills, broaden my perspectives, and develop a global network. Living and studying in a foreign country, meeting new people, and exploring new environments were incredibly appealing and aligned with my personal and academic development goals.

I chose IÉSEG for my exchange semester primarily for its excellent academic reputation and the unique opportunities it provided. IÉSEG is known for its high-quality business education and its emphasis on internationalisation. As an exchange student, I was attracted to the diverse range of courses offered, the opportunity to study in English, and the chance to interact with students worldwide. IÉSEG's strong connections with the business community in Paris also appealed to me as it offered valuable networking opportunities and potential career prospects.

Studying at IÉSEG during my exchange semester was a truly enriching experience. The university provided a vibrant and inclusive environment that fostered academic growth and intercultural understanding. The faculty members were knowledgeable and supportive, and the coursework was intellectually stimulating. The diverse student body enriched classroom discussions, allowing for a broader perspective on global business issues.

Moreover, I had the opportunity to participate in various extracurricular activities and student organisations, which helped me forge meaningful connections with fellow students and engage in cultural exchange. The university organised numerous events, such as conferences, guest lectures, and workshops, providing additional avenues for learning and networking. My experience at IÉSEG was academically rigorous, culturally immersive, and personally rewarding.
