“Enriching experience at INSA Lyon”
Johanna G
France,
Materials Science, 2024
OverallMy experience at INSA Lyon has been incredibly enriching. The courses and teachers have been excellent, providing a deep understanding of the subjects. I had the opportunity to connect with diverse and interesting people, both among fellow students and through extracurricular activities like music and athletics. The student life at INSA has been rewarding due to my involvement in these activities. Regarding the career services, they have been good overall, although we had limited opportunities to interact with industry professionals to gain a concrete experience of what is expected in the job market.

Careers
INSA Lyon offers internship opportunities. I completed two internships : a 6-week internship at the end of my first year and a 3-month internship at the end of my gourth year. The school also supports international internships, making it possible to gain valuable international experience. The career office at INSA Lyon provides career advice and guidance. In my case, I found my first internship through a spontaneous application. For my second internship, I leveraged the school's alumni network, as a fellow student had previously work at the same company.

L'école propose beaucoup de stage en France, mais pas tellement à l'étranger. Cela rend difficile ma recherche de stage actuelle en Suède.

“INSA, une expérience enrichissante sur plusieurs plans”
margot B
France, Graduate
Engineering, 2020
Overall
L'INSA m'a bien sur permis d'acquérir des compétences techniques, propre à l'ingénierie, mais cette école a également une vie de campus extrêmement variée, permettant à chacun d'y trouver sa place. Entre les projets de cours, la vie associative, les stages, les échanges universitaires, l'INSA m'a permis de grandir pour faire de moi une jeune adulte épanouie, une ingénieure avec des compétences techniques certes, mais qui se questionne également sur sa place par rapport au monde du travail et défis globaux actuels.

Pros
ouverture à l'international, base technique solide, vie associative impréssionnante
Cons
être plus concret dans son approche

Personal spending habits
EVERYTHING IN FRANCE IS EXPENSIVE. Except for wine and bread! If you can't eat the nasty food in the cafeteria and decided to cook, get ready to spend a fortune. Travel is expensive but it is everywhere in the world. The euro is stronger than american dollar so there again that's a loss.

Personal comments
Please, don't get a bank account in France unless you have to. When you walk in the first thing they tell you is get one but it's because the school and the bank are partners. Unless your parents are sending money directly on that french account it's not worth it because you will pay to withdraw money from your bank to put on it and pay a fee anyways. Take a mass amount every month and keep it in your room. That keeps your home account active and increase your credit history. If you have a check being sent ask your bank how to cash it on your account. Seriously that will save you the hassel of having your card swallowed up by the machine because you don't remember the pre-assigned pin that you have to keep the whole time, not being able to take money out without a card because the bank next to the school doesn't keep cash in there, having to go to two banks in order to close your account. I find that to be a big hassel because I like to maximaze my time.

Personal comments
It has been pretty good but I don't know why I had to answer twie the same block of questions regarding the improvement of my language skills.
We had a Franch intensive course in the first month. Then we had a regular course with a tremendous stupid teacher, who epitomises "The Stupid, The impolite". Good learning by attending regular courses (not so much via French courses)
