Lausanne is a perfect place to start you travel trips. The next airport (Geneve) is only 1 hour away by train. You can visit France easily by taking the boat across the lake. Going skiing is easy even by train you can get anywhere in the alps. In the summer you will find very nice beaches at the lake and the water is clean.

It's great! The university has a good reputation but the best reason for choosing lausanne is for the social side, you will meet loads of people from different countries, make good friends, there are lots of exchange students in the same position, lots of trips and nightlife and a very effective erasmus student organisation.

Visit switzerland while you are there, get the Demi-tariff and Voie7 as soon as you arrive as they give you cheaper rail travel and you WILL use them! Don't stay in your room all day, go and swim in the lake, apply for acocmodation early, go to the erasmus events, make an effort to talk french and do the language course in August (HIGHLY recommended!)

If you are going as Erasmus student, don't miss the first weeks of interogation. I did, and I found it difficult to get to know people in the beginning because of that. But after a while it was terrific!

Great up-to-date campus, skilled teachers, scenic setting at Lake Geneva, just North of the French Alps. Switzerland is a beautiful country, especially around Lausanne and Lake Geneva.

PLAN WELL AHEAD! Prepare yourself by reading books on Switzerland and the Swiss people. I recommend "Living and Working in Switzerland", Survival Books.
Travel in- and outside the country during your stay. Lausanne is 4 hours of train from Milano and Paris, and 6-8 hours from the French riviera!

“Excellente école”

Overall
L'EPFL est une école géniale tant au niveau de la qualité de l'enseignement qu'au niveau de la qualité de vie sur le campus. La diversité des cours disponibles ainsi que les professeurs qui les enseignent dispensent une très bonne formation. De plus, le campus est très agréable à vivre de par sa conception ainsi que par sa localisation proche du lac et des montagnes suisses. Enfin il y règne une ambiance conviviale entre les étudiants.
