It's a great university, very friendly with a beautiful green campus. I got to meet lots of international students and some Swiss students when I was there and am still in contact with now, and that's what made the experience.

Final comments
Best place to travel to is to Geneva airport and go from its train station direct to Lausanne. If you feel a bit homesick or feel like you're not meeting enough people, the university has the Association pour les EtudiantEs Concerné par une Echange (AEcE, the international society) which organises loads of events and nights out.

I would have liked to know about the possibilities of organising a private exchange. I went to Lausanne University because it was the only francophonic location offered by the University of York English department.

I really enjoyed my time at Lausanne. However in order to make more of the overall experience I would recommend that people take into account the academic factors before choosing their courses.

Switzerland is a unique and wonderful place. Choose the time of your exchange so you can profit from the things that you enjoy most - eg go in winter if you like skiing or summer for hiking. Also, if like at my university, there is a selection process, remember the first answer is not always the final answer. When other people drop out, places that were unavailable might suddenly become free - allowing you to go on your international exchange!

Overall
Ce qui m'a le plus marqué lors de mes études fut l'accessibilité des professeurs en cas de questions.
Les cours étaient toujours pertinents, et de qualités, les professeurs ouverts et agréables.
J'ai également aimé l'environnement du campus avec ses moutons. C'est toujours agréable de voir des animaux quand on va étudier, ça relaxe.
La vue sur le lac Léman est juste magnifique.
J'ai apprécié étudier entourée de diverse nationalité. On en apprend beaucoup sur les autres cultures.
J'ai vraiment passé un chouette Master.

Final comments
In summer you need to explore the Lake Geneva region and the Tessin.
In winter go skiing in the alpes.
In emergency most people understand french, german and italien because these are the three languages of CH. English is more difficult to find (no joke!).
