📝 Step-by-step B-school application essay writing guide: mayanksehgal.gumroad.com/l/b-...
In this video, I break down a realistic estimate of the monthly expenses at HEC Paris.
Curious how much is the cost of living when you're a student living on campus at HEC Paris or generally at any other French business school? Watch this video to find out the average living expenses on campus. I speak about rent, food, eating out, groceries, phone plan, transport, partying/going out, and other miscellaneous expenses when you're at HEC Paris (or any other business school in Paris, or France)

[@TiffanySotoSaenz]

Hi, may I ask what made you choose HEC over others business schools?

[@MayankSehgal]

Considering that I wanted to live and work in France/EU, it was mostly because 1. It’s the #1 school so it looks great on the CV, 2. I attended summer school here so I was already familiar with it 3. Their marketing faculty and program is really good quality 4. Campus life is better than other business schools in France

[@sanikasakhare3193]

Hi Mayank! If there are not many part time jobs available and as you mentioned that the course is very demanding , how can I earn money to fulfill my monthly expenses?

[@MayankSehgal]

Hey Sanika! Unfortunately the reality is that you'll have to take a study loan to fulfil your monthly expenses if you go to HEC (or EDHEC/any other school that doesn't allow apprenticeships). If you go to ESSEC or any other school that allows apprenticeships, you can get an apprenticeship (where you work part time, study part time) to pay for your expenses and fees.

Okay thank you so much :)

[@lena9246]

Could you explain please? You study in HEC rn and you have a gap year? Is it possible to be enrolled in HEC and then take a gap year before you start your masters or after 1 year of masters?

[@MayankSehgal]

You can do the gap year after the first year of the masters!

[@lena9246]

@@MayankSehgal great! Thank you! And is it possible to receive a scholarship or/and find a job/internship with a salary enough to pay for the life (based on your videos +-1000€ /months ) during your gap year ?

[@MayankSehgal]

Yeah, my entire gap year was funded through internships for example. Companies would indeed pay you as an intern to support your life!
