Supdeco
🇸🇳 Exchange in Senegal, Jan 2024
🏠 Housing
I was in Sacré Coeur II, super central with shops all around, but no parties nearby. I stayed with 5 people, paid around €380/month. No fancy link — found it through local contacts.
🚗 Getting to Campus
Pretty close to Supdeco, so it was chill. Traffic’s always a thing in Dakar, so being nearby is key. ✈️ Travel Life Cap Vert, Saly, Mbour — 100% worth it. Easy day or weekend trips.
🎉 Social Life
Soirées at the corniche hit different. Go to Agence Trames on Thursdays, and the Plateau parties go hard.
📚 Classes
Didn’t get to choose, it was whatever they gave us. You just roll with it.
🦙 Other
Dakar’s full of scams if you're not careful with housing. Know someone or visit before paying.

🇸🇳 Exchange in Senegal, Jan 2024
🏠 Housing
We were 5 in a house in Sacré Cœur, literally a few mins from the school. Had an Auchan right next door too. But rent was €1900 total, and we had to pay electricity separately (it’s not cheap). Found it through friends, no online link.
🚗 Getting to Campus
Could walk — that was the best part. No need to deal with crazy traffic in the morning.
✈️ Travel Life
Saly, Gorée Island, Casamance, desert of Lompoul — we did it all. Beach, nature, desert vibes.
🎉 Social Life
Trames on Thursdays, always. Seven & Basilic were our go-to clubs. Copacabana beach bar was a fav too.
📚 Classes
We didn’t pick our schedule. Had to take Chinese class which was kinda random 😂
🦙 Other
Avoid far housing. Traffic in Dakar = pain. Trust me, be close to campus.

ISM Dakar
🇸🇳 Exchange in Senegal, Jan 2024
🏠 Housing
Stayed in Sacré Cœur, 20 mins from ISM (bouchons decide your fate though). We paid €380/month (electricity not included). Clean spot, had a guard, 5 mins from Auchan. But WiFi + water cuts were kinda regular.
🚗 Getting to Campus
By taxi, depending on traffic. If you're too far, it’s a daily headache.
✈️ Travel Life
Cap Vert, Saly, Sine Saloum, Casamance, Somone — we went everywhere.
🎉 Social Life
Boma pool, Oceanium, Cop 21, Trames — we kept it busy. Chill in the week, party on weekends.
📚 Classes
Can’t choose the program, but it was manageable. Just don’t think you’ll party 24/7 and pass with 0 effort.
🦙 Other
Do your vaccines, bring some savings. Dakar is a capital, so if you wanna enjoy, be ready to spend.

🏠 Housing
8 flatmates. We paid each €285/month. Our place was about 30 mins from BEM, but right by the ocean 🌊.
🚗 Getting to Campus
Kinda far, but taxi/Uber does the job. Just plan around peak hour traffic.
✈️ Travel Life
Sally, Casamance, Cap Vert — loved every second.
🎉 Social Life
Spent most of our time between beach days and parties. Whole exchange felt like a vibe.
📚 Classes
We didn’t get to choose anything, but it was manageable.
🦙 Other
Dakar = beach + culture + chill people. But don’t wait till the last minute for housing.

🇸🇳 Exchange in Senegal, Jan 2024)
🏠 Housing
Paid €280/month, stayed with 7 flatmates. In Sacré-Cœur — had everything we needed. You’ve gotta negotiate hard with taxis though.
🚗 Getting to Campus
Like 30 mins by taxi. No housing near the uni (Plateau), but it’s easy to find spots once you’re there.
✈️ Travel Life
Did Saly (villa for €15/night 👀), Sine Saloum, Casamance, and even the desert. Jet skis, island hopping, all that.
🎉 Social Life
Copacabana, Cop21, Basilic, Giglio, Tram, Oceanium — name it, we were there. Beach bars are the move.
📚 Classes
No choice, but I liked Leadership Softskills, Strategy, and Operational Research.
🦙 Other
Senegal isn’t as “cheap” as people think. It’s not France, but it ain’t budget-backpacking either.
