ACADEMICS

• Gianluca (Fall 2021): Classes are highly participative and based on the case method. Students are required to prepare cases ahead of class and fully participate in the lesson. Most of the times, participation is the major grading component

WORKLOAD

• Gianluca (Fall 2021): Workload depends a lot on the courses you’re taking. Preparing cases and group projects can sometime take away considerable amounts of time

CITY LIFE

• Gianluca (Fall 2021): London is unfortunately not the most vibrant city of Canada. There are some cool cafes and some bars/clubs. The distances are sometimes very difficult to manage, to fully appreciate the city a car would be needed.

CEMS Life

• Gianluca (Fall 2021): My cohort was really small (approx. 13/14 exchange students) and CEMS life was really hindered by the pandemic. Despite this we bonded a lot with the exchange students and always had something organized to do among us

HOUSing

• Gianluca (Fall 2021): Housing on campus was not allowed for graduate students/exchange. We opted for rooms at The Marq

PRIce of one beer

• Gianluca (Fall 2021): Costs vary a lot. If compared to a major European city we can say that prices are lower. A beer usually can cost between 3 and 6 Canadian dollars
