A friendly and academic-oriented experience.
Tips: Students are going to get the best experience possible if they try to relax and learn a little French before coming. I also had a scholarship through my university, which gave me a 10,000 EUR discount on my tuition fees. I think the most unique aspect is their blend of practical and theoretical learning. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experience.
Likes (Safety): I have a strong network within the college and study there daily. I've joined two student associations, TEDx and Open Up. I most enjoy the social aspect and friendships. There are events throughout the year, whether festivals, soirees, or special events, and they are all great.
Dislikes (Student Life): The faculty are very well-qualified and always available to help. They have a good study curriculum. While most teachers are French, they have extensive international experience and speak English well.

EDHEC is swiftly rising up the ranks because of the student career centre.
Tips: I recommend learning basic French before attending EDHEC Business School. While it's possible to get by without French, it's the only way to fully integrate into French culture. EDHEC offers many scholarships, which are easy to apply for and receive. I've received multiple job offers even before graduation because of EDHEC's reputation in France.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty both visiting and permanent are Masters of their fields. The pedagogy is to learn while you're practicing, so you understand concepts rather than mugging them. The faculty is very approachable and you can meet them anytime with an appointment. They are very diverse and are from all around the world.
Dislikes (Part time work): If you don't speak French, it's difficult to find part-time jobs off campus. However, on campus you can apply for TA positions and internships that pay well. If you don't speak French, you can work in Indian restaurants off campus, which pay around 100-150.

EDHEC is a strong gateway for Indian students to build a career in Europe.
Tips: EDHEC is an amazing option if you want to have a career in Europe. France is one of the lucrative options for Indian students looking to study abroad. I would suggest to have some foundation courses prepared before you start the M.Sc. courses. That would make your academic life way easier. If you manage to learn french (at least professional level), you will have almost no issue finding a job. Cultural shift is not too hard to adjust to in the early ages. The only issue is language which is manageable if you prepare in advance. There are plenty of scholarship opportunities when you study in France (Charpak, Eiffel, etc.). I used the same application for Charpak as I used for the university and got the scholarship. You should definitely apply for the scholarships.
Likes (Student Life): Most of the time was spent on studying as the course was short and intensive. However, Nice as a student-city does offer plenty of activities like hiking, trekking, or partying during weekends and holidays. The Campus does try to organise some local and cultural specific events (Diwali, etc.). There are many student clubs and communities as well which offer really good networking and learning opportunities but in the end, if the course is super intensive you do not get to spend a lot of time in it. Students in MIM courses (and specially Lille Campus) have the luxury to make the best out of it.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Nice has a really great food scene but if you're specifically craving Indian food then the options are pretty limited compared to a massive city like Paris. On the bright side, there are tons of amazing, cheap spots for African and Middle Eastern food. For proper Indian flavors, you usually end up having to cook it yourself—which isn't too bad since there are a few Indian grocery stores right in the city center. Otherwise, your only real bet is hitting up the local 'Indian' restaurants, though most of them are actually run by Pakistani, Nepali, or Bangladeshi owners.

EDHEC Business School has everything to offer to your personal & professional growth.
Tips: Students should be open to exploring people, food, culture, etc. Your cohort will be diverse and will be equally talented as you. Be open to learning new things, on a professional and personal level. Double down on your French language proficiency. Although you will be all right speaking English to integrate better within the campus and the city, make a serious effort to learn French. This will help boost your professional side as well during the job interviews. 
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is very convenient to get by in and around the city. There are buses, tramways, and metros to help you travel seamlessly. Also, one single transport card would be sufficient to travel anywhere in the Lille metropolitan area. With the student discount available on the transport card, it is the most optimal way to go. 
Dislikes (Indian Food): No issues, particularly if you cook your food. When planning to eat out, although there are several Indian restaurants in Lille, the taste will not be close to what you might be used to eating back home. A majority of the Indian restaurants here are run by people from our neighbouring countries, so if you go there expecting an authentic taste of Indian food, you might be disappointed. That being said, those are the only options, so you might try them as well.

You will get to learn a lot about business and diverse cultures.
Tips: Students should know that learning French should be a priority. Be prepared for a new experience in your academic life. It's different from India's academic structure. Coming from India, you would find everything expensive here, so you should learn how to cook, especially if you are a Vegetarian.
Likes (Public transportation): Good connections of bus, tram and metro. Lille is very cheap, you can buy monthly travel passes which could cost around 20-30 Euros. They are also safe and convenient. For students it is very cheap and the best mode of transportation. City Mapper and Google Maps, work well for assistance.
Dislikes (Internships): The guidelines given by the Career Centre were good but there is a huge language barrier in France. You should start connecting with your seniors and other alumni. They will give proper guidance on how Indians can land an internship in France or Europe.
