Welcome to MiM Wednesdays!
I did the EDHEC Grande École programme back in 2016 and it changed a lot in my life!
There's a huge culture shock for an Indian coming to France, and many things to learn. This video is about how the ones I discovered during my stay at EDHEC.
0:00 Intro
0:37 1. Acknowledging why I'm here
1:23 2. France needs French
2:53 3. Only bring what you can carry
4:19 4. You need supplements
5:21 5. You have different needs (relative to the locals)
7:32 6. Finding a job/internship is hard
9:14 7. Learn to cook
These things would surely have made my study in france much easier. As an Indian student, I come from a background that's common to thousands of other students that will have a similar experience. The MIM programme at EDHEC (also known as the grande ecole programme locally) has helped me pay back my debt and find a job in an industry I wasn't sure I'd be interested in.

I am so happy to have come across this realistic and honest video on moving to France . Most of them are just some sad renditions of Emily in Paris where eveything's amazing and do not provide any actual guidance on anything important. Planning to study at EDHEC next year and this helps so much. Thanks Joshua !

Hello Joshua. I am really glad I came across your video. I got accepted into EDHEC MiM for apprenticeship track actually. But again that depends on my French certifications and all of that. If it does not work out it will be automatically Business Management Track. I have so many questions… mostly about how things have changed in the last year in France in terms of employment.

Such Great Points Josh!!! Point 1 I felt is very very important, not only when moving abroad but also in any endeavour we take in life. Clarity is important!
