We chose the Strasbourg campus with the desire to create and to become actively involved, and we were certainly not disappointed! We had the opportunity to contribute to the establishment of the Strasbourg branch of ESSCA Junior Conseil, as well as to take part in a wide range of projects—from a climate-themed mural to the organisation of hackathons and networking events with other schools. All these experiences enabled us to grow and to develop professionally, while fully embracing student life.What we particularly value here is the close relationship with our lecturers and the constant support of the administration, who guide us through every stage of our projects and whom we enjoy meeting in the corridors for a friendly exchange.
