Type of housing: Apartment/House

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? For the first year I was at the Residence Universitaire / Dorms. But after that I found my own place right in the middle of town. It couldn't have been better.
Personal comments:
Compared to the rest of Europe it was very affordable and accomidating

STUDENT LIFE    
Personal social experience
Activities
KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Nightlife: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Activities, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
The old town (5eme arrondissement) is not to be missed and can reached on foot. Lyon is the capital of gastronomy and often over looked by other international cities such as Paris. I wouln't have traded Lyon for Paris anyday. You're two hours from the Cote D'Azur and two hours from Paris and fourty five minutes from Switzerland

During my experience abroad, I ...
Became familiar with another culture
KEY:

Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills
Met people from other countries
Became more independent
Partied a lot

Personal recommendation:
If you're looking to assimilate as much as possible into the French culture including language aquisition I highly recommend attending a university that is NOT in an international city such as Paris. This will allow you much more exposure into the culture and permit you to submerse yourself into the culture and a higher level. Lyon is a distant second largest city in France and yet just as cosmopolitan as Paris.
