Quality of Life Survey |
| Full-time MBA program |
INSEAD has two campus', one in rural France (an hour south of Paris) and
one in Singapore. Both offer a fantastic quality of life.
In France you have sunshine in the summer, the chance to learn to
appreciate wine, cheese and other continental europe delicacies like
chocolate. You have the chance to go skiing in winter, travel to
neighboring regions and countries, etc. (admittedly a bit hard to fit in
too much of these activities but there are three breaks in the year).
Only private housing is available (many students share country mansions)
and it can be a bit difficult to organize remotely. Finding a nice place
within walking distance of the campus is pretty difficult. The best value
for money are the houses in neighboring villages. Many villages have
their own INSEAD populations and these are good choices for people that
like to socialize.
In Singapore, students went scuba diving, travelled to Malaysia,
Cambodia, and generally had a great time. Students live in regular
apartment blocks with swimming pool. The Singapore campus is much smaller
than Fontainebleau (200 students -v- 600) and so there is more of a
'family' atmosphere and people get to know one another much better.
About half the students switch campus at some point during the program.
This is obviously a bit difficult logistically as you have to try and
find a place to live for a short period and hopefully sublet your
existing accommodation. This means that the switchers are generally
company-sponsored single students.
