Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Student residence
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why? I believe that getting in touch with the French language and culture will be easier if you live with a French family - at least for a shorter period of time..
Personal comments:
It was difficult to find a proper place to live due to Lyon's high number of students. I found something on my own and was very pleased with that, but now that I know the city I probably would have chosen something else if I was to go back.

Personal comments:
The Australian bar at Hôtel de Ville called "Down Under" is fabulous! We also visited Fish Club and The First a couple of times, cool places if you want to dance, but too loud music if you want to talk!

KEY:
Very Important.
Important.
Not really important.
Unimportant.
Culture
Costs
Activities
Campus life
Party / people
Weather / Location
I wish I had known...
There is a lot of group work in every course which is sometimes difficult as you can't choose the persons you work with. The busses often don't go every hour. So you are really dependent on the times.
In my opinion:
Most people loved it.



During my experience abroad, I ...
Became familiar with another culture
KEY:
Happened all the time.
Happened quite a lot.
Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills
Met people from other countries
Became more independent
Partied a lot
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies/career
Personal recommendation:
I enjoyed the life there. But some of the courses are rather boring. The topic is interesting but the teachers just make it a bit boring. But, I'd say: choose the courses that sound interesting to you and hope the best.



FINAL COMMENTS

For travelling in France, there is the 12 - 25 card in France. It costs about 40 euros and then you get a reduction of 25 to 50% for train tickets. If you plan to travel a lot this is really useful.
