Personal comments:
The student cafe satellite is a nice place to hang out during breaks or even at night, due to a lot of cultural activities. Lausanne has several clubs with different types of music. House clubs are pretty expensive, but you'll also find student places, where it is not that expensive, e.g. Blue Lezard.

Laussane is a city with a lot of possibilites. Cafes as Bleu Lezard, Le Lapin Vert, pubs like Le Troisieme Siecle, Jagger's, Loft, Movida, discoteque like MAD, Amnesia, D! is an example but there is a lot of partys in the residences and organized by the university. The best of lausanne, the lake.

Lausanne is a city with lots of clubs and a great nightlife considering it's size. Good small clubs are Jagger's!(commercial rock/pop), Buzz(electro), and then the big ones like Cult, D!, MAD, then there are bars like Captain Cook's, Les Brasseurs, XIIème siècle, the list goes on!

There are many good places to go dancing, especially MAD, D Club and The Loft. Some nice bars are Café Luna and Jet Lag. There are some cool concerts at Casino de Monbenon. The Fête de la Cité in the old town in July should not be missed.
