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!)

It's very difficult to find an appartement in Lausanne. I suggest "maison des cèdres": you have a fantastic lac's view.

Don't worry if at first it seems difficult to find a place to live, finally you will get it.If you are a foreigner with no connections in switzerland don't even ask at the real states.

It is a great university, with lots of money and facilities. There is a lot of reknown professors, and in most of the laboratories English is the official language. And if you like skiing, Switzerland is your paradise:)

It is a good place to learn/improve your French, and also to relax from time to time (life is rather calm). If you pretend to travel quite often around Switzerland, don't forget to buy the card "demi-tarif" (150 CHF a year), so that you only pay the half of the train ticket price, and maybe also the card "Voie 7" (90 CHF),which allows you to travel after 7 PM until the end of the service without paying the train.

Course recommendations
There were many courses to choose from. Most were in French, but many Master courses were in English. I especially enjoyed the database courses and Multimedia Documents. The department for Management of Technology and Entrepreneurship had many interesting courses. I also atended two courses at HEC Lausanne, the city's business school. I strongly recommend doing that as their courses are interesting and you get to know students outside your own university.

Personal comments
There were too few laboratory sessions. Out of the 13 courses I took, only three had lab work. Many courses should have contained more exercise session.
