Exchange Report EDHEC Business School, Lille Fall 2016 Kurt Tang BBA (Information Systems & Management) Year 3 Part 1: Monthly Activity Log Exchange Report EDHEC Business School, Lille Fall 2016 Kurt Tang BBA (Information Systems & Management) Year 3 Part 1: Monthly Activity Log August: I arrived at France on 24 August early in the morning, in CDG airport Paris. Then I took the 830am train (TGV) to Lille in the TGV station in terminal 2. The train ride took less than an hour and soon I arrived at Gare Lille Europe, which is the train station for most trains to the rest of Europe. This term EDHEC arranged pick-up services for exchange students so I did not need to drag my luggage to the metro station. The driver drove me to my accommodation, EGIDE Residence, which is close to the campus. I had notified the residence manager about my check-in so I could get moved in soon after I arrived at the doorstep. The manager was nice enough to show me around the building and gave me his contact. EGIDE Residence provided studio flats mostly for students of EDHEC, most of the facilities you would need was inside your own studio, kitchen, toilet so you did not have to share it with other students, which means you did not need to clean up someone else’s mess at times. I purchased the welcome pack of the residence which included a lot of necessities, broom, mop, bed sheets, pillow, even a rice cooker. EDHEC arranged welcoming sessions for international students and exchange students on late August before school started so you could get to make some new friends. During the sessions, the staff explained the academic issues and practical issues regarding the stay in France that were essential. There was even an activity which showed students around the neighbourhood, where the shops were as such. I spent the rest of the days in August walking around the city of Lille, there was a zoo in Citadel that was rather huge. September: In early September EDHEC had a practical fair that the school invited banks, Transpole and insurance reimbursement agencies so that students can open accounts without going to local branches themselves. I opened a HSBC bank account which I then got my bank card about two weeks later in EDHEC. School started sharp on 1 September. The duration of classes varied from an hour to three hours but there were often breaks during the lesson which you could grab a coffee or use the toilet. I spent most of the month in the city of Lille and for the end of September I travelled to Brussels, Belgium with my friend. A great thing about studying in Lille was it is very close to the Belgium border so it took about 40 minutes to get to Brussels by TGV. October: I spent the first part of the month travelling in the Netherlands, both Amsterdam and Rotterdam were fantastic cities to visit with great scenery and museums. The Van Gough Museum and Anne Frank’s home were must-sees for Amsterdam, both of them had very long queues when I visited. For Rotterdam, the world-famous Kinderdijik was a spectacular windmill village that every visitor of Holland should take a look. It was also a UNESCO World Heritage Site which gave you every reason not to miss it. After the trip, I spent a few days preparing for my midterm exams, which took place on the same day for every course. If you registered every single course, you would be having exams for the entire day. After the midterms, I travelled to England by Eurostar, which had a station in Lille, to visit my friend in Stoke on Trent. The best thing about traveling to England by train was that you were not restricted by the regulations on the items you carried aboard and the customs check was much simpler. I spent a few days in central England and been to cities such as Manchester. Later, I went to London for Halloween. London had a much stronger festive atmosphere than Hong Kong regarding Halloween with people dressed up all across the city. I went back to Lille early in the morning again by Eurostar. November: During November, there were quite some tutorials to attend to and quite a lot of them required case studies. As tutorials here in EDHEC accounted for a huge amount of the final grade, I spent quite a lot of effort to get better prepared though I was an exchange student. Still, I spent 5 days travelling to Sweden and Norway. Strangely, it was snowing rather heavily even though it was early November. I was told later by the locals it was the heaviest snowfall in November for over a century even for Sweden. Despite the snow, travelling to Scandinavia was huge fun as the people were friendly and much less crowded compared with French cities. Later in the month travelled to England again to visit some more friends I had not seen since they moved to England to study. December: December was the last month of my stay in France. Before I started to study for my finals, I travelled to Paris to watch a concert I had been looking forward to for a long time. I spent a few days to walk around the city though I had been here several times. Paris was simply an iconic city I never got tired of despite its safety concerns these years. Then I returned to Lille for my finals in mid-December. Exams in EDHEC tended to include quite a lot of contents from the readings that were not covered in class so instead of just reading the PowerPoint slides, I spent days trying to go through the readings and try to remember as much as I could. After the finals, I started to pack my belongings for my check out on 28 December as I would be in London for the entire Christmas. Christmas in Europe was very different from that in Hong Kong. Most shops were closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. In Lille, some of the shops would not be open until next year after New Year’s Day. Despite not having much shopping to do on Christmas, winter sales in major department stores such as Harrods and Selfridges offer huge bargains if you are a fashionista. In Hyde Park, Winter Wonderland, which was an enlarged version of AIA Carnival offered tons of rides and games for everyone to enjoy Christmas. Luckily, I won a few dolls there without spending a lot of pounds. I returned to Lille on 27 December to complete my packing. On the last day of my stay, I spent my afternoon wandering around the city of Lille for one last time to remember every single part of the city. Then I left Lille by train to CDG airport and flew back to Hong Kong late at night. Part 2: General Exchange Information 1)Visa Procedures Applying for a French visa can be extremely annoying if you fail to follow the steps and requirements cautiously. To apply for a visa, you have to first make an appointment on the website of Campus France to arrange an academic interview, which you have to present proof of your future exchange to France. The interviewer will follow up with several questions including your reason of choosing France and your French proficiency. After the completion of the interview, you may arrange an appointment on the French consulate website for the visa. There is a list on its website stating the documents you have to provide or you cannot get your visa done. If you provide all the documents required it will take about 2 weeks to process. 2)Orientation Activities EDHEC has several welcome events for exchange students. Before the start of school, there are welcoming sessions for exchange students and international students respectively. Those events are great opportunities for you to know more friends from other nations. After the beginning of semester, there will be a city tour which give you a brief tour around the city’s statues and monuments. 3)International Services & Activities There is a student association called Open Up which provides activities for international students frequently. Parties and even trips are organized throughout the semester, these are great ways for you to be friends with other exchange students. 4)Accommodation EDHEC provides quite a selection of accommodation for exchange students to choose from. The most affordable one would be the student residence inside the campus. There are some other residences around the campus within 10-20 minutes of walking distance. It is also possible to choose a residence in the city of Lille which takes about 30 minutes to reach the campus via metro. The residences offer studio flats or shared apartments for students. You can match your needs with the residence easily. If you want to live in a host family to better experience the French way of living, you can send a request to EDHEC for recommendation. They are very willing to offer lists of suitable host for your stay in France. 5)Course Registration Course registration is done before your departure to France in August. The academic officer of EDHEC will send you a course registration form which you have to fill in the form with the courses you wish to register and the signature from a faculty staff at HKUST. When you are choosing the courses, remember to look up the courses in the course equivalence database of HKUST as not all of the courses can be transferred. If you are a frequent traveller, do not register for too many courses as attendance policy is rather strict in EDHEC.

  • ENQUÊTE SUR LE COMMERCE ASIATIQUE AUX OLYMPIADES Quartier Des Olympiades – Diagnostic Urbain
    ATELIER PARISIEN D’URBANISME - 17, BD MORLAND – 75004 PARIS – TÉL : 0142712814 – FAX : 0142762405 – http://www.apur.org ENQUÊTE SUR LE COMMERCE ASIATIQUE AUX OLYMPIADES Quartier des Olympiades – Diagnostic urbain Mars 2003 RÉSUMÉ En 2002, 65% des commerces de détail (sur les 328 recensés) du quartier Olympiades/Villa d'Este sont asiatiques. Par ailleurs, l'ancienne gare des Gobelins, recouverte par la dalle des Olympiades, abrite un marché de demi-gros dédié essentiellement aux produits asiatiques. Par l'importance qu'il a pris depuis vingt ans, jusqu’à devenir une des destinations touristiques de Paris, le commerce asiatique des Olympiades constitue un enjeu pour la définition d'une stratégie d'intervention dans ce secteur clas- sé comme site prioritaire du « Grand projet de renouvellement urbain » de la couronne de Paris. On entend par « commerce asiatique », un commerce tenu par une personne de nationalité ou d'o- rigine asiatique, dont la clientèle et les produits vendus sont majoritairement d'origine asiatique, dont l’enseigne est rédigée dans une langue d'Asie. Objet et méthode. La présente étude décrit le fonctionnement et le rayonnement du commerce asiatique dans le sud du 13e arrondissement, et ses incidences sur la vie urbaine locale. L'analyse s'appuie sur l'exploitation de fichiers sur le commerce (BDCom), sur l'activité (Sirene), sur la population et l'emploi (recensements de la population), ainsi que sur des enquêtes de terrains : relevés, questionnaires, entretiens. Les enquêtes et leurs exploitations ainsi que la cartographie ont été réalisées par des étudiants du DESS de l'Institut Français d'Urbanisme (Paris 8).

    Content Monthly Activity Log ──── General Exchange Information ──── To-Bring list CHAN YAT EDHEC YEAR 3 BBA BUSINESS (MARKETING & SCHOOL MANAGEMENT) (LILLE) SPRING 2018 Monthly Activity Log December (Mannheim, Heidelberg, Berlin, Paris) My first stop in Europe was Germany. I went there to reach my friend, an exchange student studying in Mannheim in the last semester. We spent some time partying in Mannheim and travelled to Heidelberg and Berlin for Christmas. The Christmas markets in Germany are spectacular and definitely worth visiting for some mulled wine and sausages. I kept a wine mug at 2 Euros as a little souvenir. Berliner Dom Pork Knuckles at Hofbräu, Berlin Then, we went Paris for the New Year. The atmosphere at the countdown at Champ-Elysees Street (near Arc de Triomphe) was wonderful. The street was crowded with people and snack trucks. However, we (I blame my friend for that actually) decided to switch to Tower Eiffel at the last minute and it was a terrible idea. Turned out there were few people and almost no celebration…So keep this in mind in case anyone will make the same mistake. Arc De Triomphe at Countdown January (Brussels, Amsterdam) We arrived at Lille at early January and settled in my dormitory. There were almost no lessons until the end of January. I spent a few days dealing with stuffs like sim card and bank accounts. In the meantime, I went Brussels, but it turned out to be quite boring. We also visited Amsterdam. The city is notorious of prostitution and marijuana. You can smell cannabis every other street.

Crew’s IPO Blueprint: Share Listing Planned, But Unlikely Until 2006 By Vicki M. Young NEW YORK — Preppy retailer and catalogue firm J.

There’s been buzz in the financial market since the beginning of the year that an IPO was in the works, especially given the apparent turnaround of what was once a struggling business.
