Lausanne is a city with lots of clubs and a great nightlife considering it's size. Good small clubs are Jagger's!(commercial rock/pop), Buzz(electro), and then the big ones like Cult, D!, MAD, then there are bars like Captain Cook's, Les Brasseurs, XIIème siècle, the list goes on!
Apply early for a place in the university student accomodation (with the FMEL agency) as it's the best but you have to apply very early! In order of preference: Cèdres, then Bourdonette and then Rhodanie, the others aren't so good for location or sociability. Cèdres is by far the best if you like being near the lake, and partying all night with other students! The price is also cheap compared to the UK, and everything is well organised.
Courses were OK, there is a very big choice in physics courses, but the few I chose were not the best. The lab I worked in however was very well equipped.

Recommandation personnelle
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!)

Commentaire personnel
Courses were in french but project was in english due to having a non-francophone supervisor. It is possible to learn french well in a year but sometimes other students communicate in english, which makes learning french harder. All professors and administration staff in EPFL also speak at least english.
