Anything else you want to share 8

• Don’t choose the Marketing track as classes are heavily spread out which would
make traveling difficult
• Can opt for entrepreneurship track as well (If anyone is interested we can connect
you to IIM C folks who opted for this track)
• We completed 6 credits by taking 7 subjects (1 was online )
• Student accommodation near the college: Airbnb since campus acco is
expensive (We paid around 1 lakh for 106 days per person & our acco was 15 min
walk from campus ; can share owner’s contact )
• Outskirts accommodation is cheaper: But travel time may be higher
• Do buy the Eurail 2nd Class pass (very useful for folks at Lille)
• Long Term Student Visa required (Apply in advance to avoid last minute hassles)
• Total expenditure : 4.5-5.5 L depending on Individual
• Countries covered : 15+ (Always scope for covering more)
