ESSCA: The greatest group I've ever known. Past Review
By Dana D (International Business., Illinois State University) for
ESSCA Business School: Angers - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
yes it was worthwhile. I got to see things that I've only been taught about, and I got to see them with some of the best people that I have ever met. The group I was placed with made the trip 100 times better.
