Course recommendations
The courses are in French, hence it would be a good idea to get an idea of the language before coming to INSA.
The courses are well taught with an eye on engineering applications. The exams are also prepared with the same perspective. The courses deal with a wide vareity of topics and for exchange students, who can choose from any department and any year, it offers a wide vareity of options to choose one's interest.

Personal comments
I would suggest to pay attention in class and to be up to date with what is going on in the course. The exams are not challenging, but expect an understanding of the subject. Regular study was more effective then last day preparations especially in the department of Biochemisty.

The best sport is definitely soccer. But there are plenty of tennis courts as well, so the oppurtunity should'nt be missed out.
The student bar K-fet, which is inside campus is a nice place to be at specific special occasions. Otherwise there is a popular nightclub next door called 'Oxxo' which has free crepes on wednesdays. However the definitive nightclub is in the city center called 'Ayer's rock'.
Lyon has its share of events...the Boujolais festival happens in october when the 'noveau' Boujolais arrives by ship in lyon. Another event to watch out for is the 'Fete de lumiere' at the time of which the whole town is bathed by light with special events at the town center.

“Student unions are what makes this school great”

Overall
The school isn't perfect, but they give the students a lot a freedom to make their own projects, and the student unions are a huge thing : we have a performance hall and a festival entirely managed by the students for instance.
The school also has a very good reputation in France.
