Studying in Bordeaux Ecole De Management was an enjoyable source for

increasing my knowledge and widening my horizons while interacting with

exchange students coming from all over the world & from different cultures.

BEM – Bordeaux - France . That Semester without any doubt was the most

greatest semester in my life , I learned many new skills , I got new business

knowledge , I had new international friends , and the most essential thing was

identifying myself, my own goals and my future path strategy.

All in all, it was an amazing experience and I am so grateful to Kuwait University for

providing us student with the opportunity to join this program. I also encourage other

students to consider applying to it. I was introduced to a different educational system and

learned to work with it. I found staff and students friendly and helpful. I had friends from

different cultures. I visited a few different European countries which was very insightful.

Mona Al-Matouq, Bocconi University, Italy

It was unforgettable experience.

"BEM is a multicultural amazingly-diversified place in one of France’s

most beautiful cities, Bordeaux. A quite afternoon by the mirror d'eau, a

walk in Rue Sainte Catherine, or maybe a quick trip to Paris over the

weekend will make you feel alive!"

Nirvana El-Haddad, KEDGE Business School, France

I call it the perfect mixture; School, students, Teachers, atmosphere. It

was more cultural and welcoming than I imagined with more than 300

hundred students from all over the world.

Ahmed Shukry, KEDGE Business School, France

France is the dream that achieves every wish.

abroad and to acquire knowledge, cultural experience and making many

amazing friends all around the world. I am so grateful to the exchange

program offered by KU for I now being much more informative,

sophisticated, and skillful"

Maha Al-Ajeel, Bocconi University, Italy

I went to BEM as an exchange student from Kuwait University. It was

the best experience of my life. I got introduced and met so many

different people from different nationalities as well as learning and

adapting and living in a new culture. It was a very enriching experience

and I will be forever grateful to Kuwait University.

Hady Makki, KEDGE Business School, France

I was very excited to join the exchange program in IE Business School, Madrid, in Spain. It

really reflected my success in a part of life. Students and Staffs were very helpful and

friendly . What surprised me as well that most of people were not Spanish but coming from

20 different nationalities and cultures. Thus helped me to see things with a different eye.

Classes were interesting and productive and this experience motivated me to continue my

higher studies in Spain. Finally I am glad to be a part of this amazing experience that Kuwait

University provided me by joining such program.

Being the first to be abroad at AU from Kuwait as an exchange student was a double-edged

sword. One of the edgees is rough for the lack of complete knwoledge of the program. The

Oether edge has given me an enormous benefit academically and socially. AU Students who

come from different religious and cultures, Arabs and Jews, American and Non American

are all very social and friendly people. Making friends brings bitter0sweet memories despite

the cultures and religious differences. I have made really good friends.

It’s a place where one can be whoever wants to be. I believe the greatest gift a man can ever

have is the freedom of choice na dth efreedom of being without social pressure.

Going through such part of life. I mean getting an opportunity to travel and study

abroad was really nice and valuable. I learned a lot about the European System of

life, education, and culture. I made good relationships with international students

from different parts of the world. I learned how to be independent in life by renting

my own place and doing my stuffs away from parent. Really, I liked it.

Saad Al-Dousari, KEDGE Business School, France

It was marvellous that I got the chance to try a new methods of teaching

and had a closed view of a new country and traditions. I now have

relations with friends from different places of the world.

What an amazing part of life to go through. Having new friends and

seeing new culture. Communicating with others was great and easy

Paris Graduate School of Management (PGSM). It really worth it. It was a

great opportunity to be exposed to different cultures and met a new

international friends. It emphasize my self-confidence by managing my own

stuff and depending on my self. I felt great hospitality in Paris. The study was

great thus made up my experience more valuable.

I got the opportunity to know people from different backgrounds and I

made a pure friendship with them. Joining BEM and interacting with its

learning system& professors were amazing. I encourage others to join

the students exchange program.

It was my luck to get an opportunity to study two semester instead of one at

ESADE. It was really amazing. ESADE education which depend mostly on

pratical systems, case studies and researches. The faculty members were

great. I got now friendships from different cultures. This part of life is to be

the greatest ever I had lived.

Abdullah Al-Otaibi, ESADE Business School, Spain

Hussein Taleb, Pole-ESG International, France

It’s a wonderful experience I encourage everyone who can to do it, you’ll

get to know the aspects of living alone abroad and know how the foreign

country lives and thinks.

In Kuwait I was lazy. I didn’t exercise and I didn’t get to feel a sense of

responsibility. Abroad, walking was my only way of transportation and

sometimes I’d take the bus. Also, got to feel very responsible with

dealing with many things.

I had a fantastic experience. I learned a lot about numerous cultures and made

the most of my opportunities. I loved every minute of it while I was over

there. I've made friends for life, and it was truly once in a lifetime experience.

Thank you for making it happen.

In general people in Spain are active; they follow a healthy lifestyle and

are friendly and hospitable. The similarity in our cultures amazed me and

I grew keener to know about them more. Madrid enjoys good weather

almost all year round, and life there is a good blend of traditions and

westernization.

Studying abroad build yourself. It Gives your full responsibility about your life. And it

gives you more confidence about your self. This picture taken for our group project

about the operation(Starbucks). I am in the left of the picture holding the text book for

the course subject, in the middle my friend from Macedonia (Goran) and in the left of

the picture my friend from Austria (Carl).

My experience outside of Kuwait opened my eyes to cultures and places

which I never thought of. It is a great opportunity with an absolute added

value to any MBA student in any business school.

The life was different there, we woke up early and needed to catch the bus or

train to go to the college and we needed to adapt to the different life style.

Mohannad Ebrahim, KEDGE Business School, France

In the beginning getting use to different place was difficult, but after some

time when I found friends and I got to know different places leaving that

country with all the memories was so difficult

It was an excellent experience benefited from a lot of things, whether personal

or Academic basis. I learned to total reliance on self. I broke the usual routine.

I got improvement in language and learned to read more. It was an amazing

experience to involve with abroad students and professors.

It was a very nice experience with many responsibilities and difficulties. Re-

freshen your self is very important inside of this experience and learning new

things.

Abdul-Wahab A. Mutairi, KEDGE Business School, France

In fact, there are many good things I've learned. The college itself has a high academic

reputation in Europe and internationally. Most of us are exchange students which allow me to

recognize many different countries/cultures. This program is as a good preparation for anyone

would like to have a Master or PHD; at least, I can to recognize the how the environment is.

Strong connect between professors and students by using the college website, which the

students what they need about the lecture/if there is any change. The college is Not in Paris

which is easy to choose good residence and it is around 40 min far by train to Paris. I've spent a

good time in France in what I'm interested in (attending music concerts +visiting violin

workshops )

AMAZING!! The four months I lived abroad were the best four months of my

life. My live used to be active, healthy, and diverse.
