Personal recommendation
The location of the university is a bit out of town hence there is not a lot of life which might put off some people, but the town center makes up for that loss.
The people are nice, the quality of education is good and the city is beautiful. And there are plenty of activities in the university to suit everyone's interest. So it is a nice place to be.

A bicycle would be a good idea to save some money. The ski slopes are closeby, so have a go at skiing when you are there.
A railway student card gets significant discounts so get it made. And then visit Paris in the summer.
Geneva is next door so have a look into it.
And if someone is planning to travel europe then a Eurolines bus pass is the best way to proceed. It is cheap and the trip is very adventurous.

It's also an opportunity to travel, meet new people and doing things that you can't when you live with your parents.

Language skills? I didn't learn anything in France that I didn't know before. Just learned that my accent was funny. Studies? I came back more stupid than I was when I left. All of my peers are more advanced and sharp than I am after a year of not being able to ask question and brainstorm because professors are not there to interact. You are told what to do, your personal thinking doesnt go into it. Everyone ends up with the same project and lab report because they copy it from the students from previous year that did the same the year before and so on and so on.... someone say PERJURISM?!?!

This stricktly applies to international student experience. Not more, not academic. Seperate the two in your mind and you'll have less of a shock when you get there.

Travel tips... save up, go away on breaks. Dont stay on that dead miserable campus and town. Travel is relatively cheap if you take it one step at a time and plan accordingly. Europe is quite open and with a French visa you can go almost everywhere. Italy, Germany, Belgium, Amsterdam, Portugal, Spain, France.... I've been in major places on 1 to 2 weeks break on a nearly 1000 dollar budget for each trip.

“Enriching experience at INSA Lyon”
Johanna G
France,
Materials Science, 2024
Overall
My 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.

“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
