INSA Lyon

Housing at that university for people coming from my school definetely suck. The french institution try to maximize their money making by giving the best housings to students that would pay them cash directly therefore I couldn't get a better one because I wasnt going to pay them since I am guaranteed any housing I want because the student that replaced me at my school can get any one he wants. Housing could have been better. I had a fridge in my room but I don't care about that because I am used to not having one but internet was important to me because that was my only link to the U.S. and finding internships and job for the summer but I didn't get that. Therefore I ended up coming back and not being able to work, not even in a supermarket!

The housing at INSA varied in quality according to the price unlike in my university where it is the same for all hostels. Our lodging was free, and having been alloted the lowest quality rooms was a dissapointment. But because of the excellent location of the rooms and the satisfactory maintainence of the hostel, there was little else to complain about.

I lived in a very nice room which I was shearing with another Lithuanian girl. We had nice comfortable desks, a kitchen and a shower which was actually a little too small. I'm personally satisfied with the quality of housing at INSA-Lyon.

Quite good. Everything was arranged and of course you could have look for something else.

I was so lucky because my residence was so new, but there wasn't any shared room. I felt luckely.

The best thing was that, being arranged by the host university, I shared my room with a native (French) student, so that helped me a lot to become fluid in French.
