Yes it was really lovely, i'd choose it again, even though we're 15 minutes away from the university (without trafic), the apartment is about 150 square meters and we had a lot of fun there.

Top bar : Jungle Top events : Oceanium, Basilic Top nightclub : seven seven Top beach club : Copacabana surf village. Overall there is not a lot of events going on (every saturday)or bars available for an afterwork. But we still managed to have fun and we decided to throw more house parties than go outside since after a month it was already repetitive.

I chose finance classes, overall it was easy since we had alerady seen the majority of concept in IESEG, the only minus is that it's in french and so you had to learn all the vocabulary and the different ways of doing the exercises. I'd recommand english classes, easier and a lot of fun

The campus was cool, it's a new campus especially for management. The registration was super easy, once you arrive even if you're at the wrong campus they lead you to where you're supposed to go and after they take care of everything. Everyone is super nice here, i'd say i would definitely pick ISM again, i really liked it.

If you're staying in Senegal traveling is not that expensive, you can go to Lac Rose, Lompoul, Saly. If you want to travel outside of Senegal and go to cape verde or gambia etc it is extremely expensive.

The cost of living at first seems extremely cheap, but don't get fooled, it gets expensive really quickly. Transport : you'll use a taxi everytime you need to go somewhere (yellow taxi or Yango app) Food : Auchan or Casino are available, but if you want high quality food you'll see that the groceries are expensive quickly Living in Dakar: Find an appartment near a supermarket and a few restaurants / street food restaurants, youll find that eating outside is almost better for your wallet than doing your groceries every 4-5 days. (You can also use Dakar Food Delovery or Yango food apps to order takeaway)

Dakar is a really chill and out of the ordinary place, don't stress just enjoy the trip and this once in a lifetime experience

In Almadies, near bars and ocean but far from schools

Whatssap

The house is really nice because we have a swimming pool on the rooftop, and we’re six friends living together, so it’s pretty good. But we only have three rooms for six people, so we sleep two by two. In Senegal, there are a lot of insects, like cockroaches and mice, but that’s normal in this country.

Bars, clubs, and events are really good, but the problem with this destination is that there aren’t many exchange students, so we usually stay with French people — just a small group. But the places are beautiful to have fun, enjoy the sunset, and admire the sea. We go to basilic every satutday night ( a bar on a rooftop with afro-house music and a view on the sea). There is few night-clubs but it’s not the Same as is France ! It’s fun and you will enjoy it

You can’t choose your courses at BEM

The campus was good but courses are really easy. The registration was really easy

We went to «  le désert de Lompoul » and it was really good we sleep in the desert. Really fun experience. We went to la réserve de Bandia which is good too to se animals like lions.

Senegal is la teranga, which means “the land of hospitality.” It’s a very safe country, and people are super nice and welcoming. The cost of living is quite cheap, but food in places like Auchan can be expensive because most of the products are imported from France. You can easily eat outside for around 1,000 FCFA (about €1.50), and it’s actually really good! We use Yango all the time it’s like Uber, and it only costs around €4 for a 25-minute ride, which is awesome. We take Yango almost every day to go to school or to do activities.

Almadies, far from the school (30min)

Website

Yes the house is great and I recommend it. But it’s far from the school.

Best parties in Almadies : Basilic and Seven Night Club

I recommend Marketing and Communication program

The campus is totally new so it is great. Teachers are cool but the communication in the school is complicated.

Desert of Lompoul is my best trip Go to Saly, it is 2h from Dakar

The Life in Dakar is very slow and people are very nice. The weather is very hot, you can go to the beach every day

J’ai adoré le Sénégal, les piscines, les villes autour, le peuple, la nourriture tout vraiment. Il faut savoir que je suis partie vraiment avec aucun espoir d’aimer mon échange et j’ai clairement adoré

Le seven pour les boites, tram et la full moon pour before

Je m’en rappelle plus

Le campus est clairement banal c’est pas nos écoles de France

On est allée saly et en casamance les vols intra Afrique sont assez chère

La vie n’est pas chère ( cela dépend vraiment de ce que tu fais) personnellement j’étais très souvent en beach club donc un coût de vie plus coûteux mais je regrette absolument pas

No, the neighborhood was quite dangerous, far from the school and when it was raining it was impossible to moove

several bars in the corniche

geopolitique because it was so interesting to have another pov

not that much cool and the registration was by google form so it wasn't very rgpd friendly

all the typical touristic things was very nice, but it's not without prep

everything by taxi and you have to negociate all the time (because of the skin color) it was cool but the mood was so strange because of the "expatriate life"

NEGOCIATE EVERYTHING and please be kind with people, there are very very generous and if some of them doesn't like white people, it's because expatriate ones are sometimes very very not nice with them

Quartier Mamelles

Demander Alpha : +221 77 731 71 91

Complètement ! Il faut aimer vivre en communauté mais Alpha (le propriétaire et vit sur place) à toujours été très disponible et d’une grande aide. Il faut aussi accepter de vivre dans un confort plus sommaire et vivre une expérience plus « locale »

En vrai suivre les locaux c’est bien, ils connaissent les bons évents etc

Marketing track - ok

Le campus est assez sommaire et disons qu’il faut accepter une gestion de l’emploi du temps à la sénégalaise ( pas improbable qu’un cours soit annulé en dernière minute en saison des pluies, professeurs parfois plus en retard que nous à cause du trafic etc etc) Mais pas inintéressant à voir, professeurs présents et disponibles pour nous et suffisamment de temps libre pour nous laisser la possibilité de découvrir le Sénégal donc cool

En vrai y a vraiment pleins de choses à faire mais quit à voyager les îles du Saloum sont super cools, la casamence incroyable et Saly

Ne pas sous estimer le coût des transports qui peut vite revenir cher au final ( on en vient souvent à prendre le taxi) // vraiment essayer de se connecter avec les locaux (ils sont supers accueillants et seront toujours dans le partage)

Whatsapp agent immobilier attention bcp d’arnaque

L’appartement était bien mais on a eu des frais en plus pas forcément mentionné et pas justifié

Le soir c’est animé mais il ne faut pas aller n’importe où surtout seule le soir. Les groupes de filles ne rentraient pas seules. La journée la sécurité est bonne dans les quartiers principaux.

Pas d’option particulière à choisir

Petit bâtiment en plein cœur de Dakar. Ce qu’il faut pour étudier rien d’extravagant.

BCP d’excursions possible, SALY, Saint Louis, Gorée, Casamance, Cap vert, désert de lompoul magnifique

Il faut être alerte Dakar bouge bcp il y a pas mal d’arnaque pour les toubab (homme blanc), les taxi font x3 sur le prix de base il faut tout négocier. Il y a de très beaux endroits mais aussi des endroits à éviter

Si Besoin de plus d’infos appelez moi je vous parlerai du sénégal avec plaisir. Il y a bcp davantage que je n’ai pas pu mentionner dans le questionnaire. 0681253591

Sacré cœur 3 à côté du Auchan

Agent immobilier

Très bien placé à 10min à pied des locaux de Bem. Appartement spacieux pour 3 à 6 personnes si vous partagez les chambres. Bien équipé et bien placé avec plein de commerces autour

Le seven et la fullmoon, sont des bons endroits pour sortir. Restaurants : basilic, jungle, boma sinon pas hésiter les restos locaux type mel anges ou les dibitteries.

African tracks est un bon programme cependant des fois il y avait un manque d’organisation avec notre programme par rapport au parcours associatif ou certaines sorties

Le campus est bien rien à dire

Tout le Sénégal est à faire du Nord au sud les paysages sont différents et les gens accueillants

Le coup de vie est très chère donc faut venir avec les moyens en conséquence. Faire absolument l’île de Gorée à Dakar. Impératif: prendre une e SIM la bas et télécharger Wave(moyen de paiement), Yango(uber local) et send wave

Profitez c’est un pays et une ville incroyable

Mermoz, Dakar

Booking

On the first part of this exchange, we need to choose by ourself the accommodation. It’s better to choose exactly what we want but difficult when we don’t know the city. On the second part in Toubacouta, we had an accommodation with other Kedge students. According to me, that was better cause we can sure to be on a good place and the price are really low for two month. If I have to make an advice, I ask Kedge to prepare a student coming for the accommodation but that was a really adventure on this way.

Drink and surf : Copacabana surf village, Secret spot Drink : different hotel or coffee shop Night : Full moon (be careful to your phone), Ouakam (Quartier with traditional dance, Trames (Rooftop on the south of the city), Copacabana surf village, Secret spot Follow news on TikTok or Instagram if new places are open

Overall, the level was not difficult but we need to listen during the course to don’t be lost. In BEM Dakar, the course are focused on Africa and it is interesting because more students, included me, wasn't known African culture.une place

The BEM classroom are correct but dispatch on different street. When you don’t know how the adress are made, it’s difficult to found. There is not a « really campus » where we can have a room but it is not complicated to found an accommodation. Normally, if you want to go in Senegal exchange, it is not difficult because there is more places to pick up this exchange and it is the only one whose propose an associative part during the mobility.

to visit : - Dakar - Saly - Casamence - St Louis - Guinea (don’t forget to register at custom) - Cape Verde

Cab: 95% of the time Bus: I didn’t use Walk: never alone

Just enjoy your trip and live the Senegal vibe !

Yes, not far from good restaurants, and beach.

I don't go in club and bars

African track

Easy registration but it's a pity that we wasn't mixed with senegalese student.

Staying in senegal is much easier than traval in whole Africa because it's really expensive.

Cost of living expensive because everyday you spend a little bit of money
