Final comments
Lyon is a great city to live in or to visit. Not too much expensive, close to the Alps, plenty of sport activities at the university, very cheap food on campus and if you get a place in the university campus the rent is ridiculous if you get the financial help from the french goverment.
GREAT CITY TO GO!

Personal comments
In mi opinion it could be improved. More choice is available through the normal university schemes than the one which was offered to me at the beginning.
Obviuously, as you don't know and it is easier you take what they offer to you.
