Divyesh Solanki

I am an International Student currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in International Business at ESDES, and I am really happy with the decision I made to study here at ESDES. I have given this institute a 5-star rating because I highly recommend it to everyone as it provided me with great courses that have boosted my knowledge and were easy to understand. It also provided me with amazing experiences such as meeting new students and teachers from all around the world, and being part of associations that make you feel like you are with your family. Nevertheless, the most important reason on why I chose ESDES, is that they provided me with materials and exercises based on real life practices that helped and prepared me for the real world out there.

It’s a great school, on a human scale. Being in an establishment with other schools allows you to meet even more people. It is a lively school, thanks to the associations and organized activities. The programs are great with great teachers. Being able to go abroad is a great advantage that the school offers to be able to deepen our languages and be able to discover new countries.

The campus is one of the most modern campuses in Lyon. Situated right next to the metro station Perrache. ESDES offers a lot of programs and i can say that its one of the most international school here in Lyon. You share the class with people from 35+ different nationalities. In addition, you will meet a lot of people from different universities doing their exchange program this shows how multicultural the school is, in addition to how many international universities are confident to send their students to study in ESDES. The studies are relevant and up to date and the teachers are there for you. Most of the students i met there are enjoying their time so i will surly recommend you get in contact or give the campus a visit. The reason i put 5 stars is because i found that the teaching level is very good and i felt really welcomed.
