Sure dude. When I started by search for schools I had soo many questions in mind and hardly anyone to answer. So I think I should answer all the questions what I can.

Also - You will stay back in this country bcoz - economically very strong, people are soooo good, hardly any crime, GOOD WORK CULTURE - I have no reasons to go away from this place.. Alumini is very very strong . Now to your questions:-

1. Current class size - See it is a dynamic class- in the sense all the full-time and part-time students don't participate in all the classes. So generally the class size would be 10-20 students. This is a small school and so don't enroll many students every year. Now there are almost 50-60 students which include part-time, specialized certificate courses and full-time students. So the thing is only good students are enrolled.

Class mix - There are a wide range of students - my classmates - phd students of other technological subjects, people who have worked in the navy/airforce for 18 yrs, CIO's, Advisors of some companies and to the government, entrepreneurs with successful and unsuccessful business, fresh graduates who have some special talent in them, audit/tax consultants, few people working in IT @ project management level, people who worked in NGO's as pm.Class is amazing - i would say.

Class age - Since we have a mixed class of full time, part time and certificate courses students - age of the class is 21-45, average age is around 35 bcoz young candidates are quite less. So your network would be superb - you name the company, you will have a good contact there.

Average experience - I would say around 6-7 years.

2. School hardly has indian and asian students. I personally don't want many asian students to come because it will disturb the diversity.
Last year I was the only indian student to have got through. Since the class size is small - the admissions committee is only looking for good candidates which bring diversity. Presently I would say few asians, more europeans, few americans. I had a good IT background and then started my own business,so I had a good experience and also a good gmat score. Then I had an interview. They will clearly see what value you bring to the class. It is not a school like, most of the other schools which only focus on GMAT and work experience. So I personally feel that if you bring good value and diversity and a decent gmat, I think you have a very very good chance to join the class.

One more thing. If you are looking for a school which pumps you with classes and makes the course very hectic. I think this is not the place to come. You can find any school that can deliver that to you. Here when you work in the morning fulltime for a company and when you have classes in the evening and preparation during weekends for your classes, it becomes hectic automatically. I personally know a lot of students who study for 18-20 hrs a day during their mba and don't enjoy life at all in other schools . If that is what you are looking for please don't come here.

3. There will be no language issue because English is spoken a lot and also at work. And since all the people here knows french , german and luxembourgish, it gives you a good opportunity to learn other languages and use it. I am learning French.

4. Dude! one of the best places to live in the world. You will never regret for what you are reading now. Hardly any crime. People are soo friendly and multi-cultural. Very good education facilities and good transportation. Yes, generally living cost is expensive here because it is one of the richest countries in the world, but trust me every penny is worth spending. I would say only the housing cost is high, rest all are very cheap. Cheaper than in most of the asian countries.

5. Since it is a mixed class, most of the students already have a very good job, but for young candidates or people who are looking for a shift they take the internship offer. I cannot mention the names of the companies because I shouldn't do that.I can tell about that incase we have a personal conversation.
People work for the big four, some people work in very good banks because it is the financial city - you have a very high concentration of banks, some people are working in top consulting firms, some good insurance companies, good automobile firms, research institutions, government firms, european investment firms, some supply chain companies, myself working in consulting and marketing, few entrepreneurs are present.

6. Dude!, in my batch there was 100% internship placement. The internship lasts for 9months-1 year. How do you think your chances would be. Ofcourse, the company would employee you provided you are able to do a good job. Even if that company didn't hire you for a permanent position which I don't think will even happen - you have a work permit and you can still try. Unemployment in the country is 4-6%, which is very very low. If you are sooo bad, nobody will employ you. I personally had 3 internship offers.

7. This is a good question. It is based on your living style but still the cost is majorly for the apartment. Rest all are cheap. Housing I would say for rent 600 - 1400 euros . If you can buy an apartment here, I would say you can live with 500 euros. Food items to buy from supermarket is very cheap, alcohol and cigars are cheap, bus and train for monthly is cheap, for contract phones it is cheap, clothes are cheap. I would say the housing is the costliest. You can manage all the other things very easily.

8. From my side, if you are looking for a very hectic schedule like 18-20 hrs of study everyday, please don't come here. Another thing, since this is maintained as a small school don't expect for a huge campus and huge infrastructure - this is purely a practical mba program were people work for most of the time. But you can also enjoy that since the school has an exchange program and students go to the big campus in US for 1-2 semesters.

I think this is worth for the ROI. Later in your career you can shift to any other country close by. With the visa you get here- Schengen visa, you can travel to a lot of countries - Germany , france , switzerland, croatia, czech......i think anybody who comes here will have a beautiful time......If you are able to invest here in some future point in your career, i feel the returns would be very good and also the exchange rate of the currency....Good luck to all the Candidates.
