I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
Come in the summer. I came in January, and it was bad. Everything is already running, integration with local students is completely negligeated. In the summer they have much better activities (trips during the language course, for example)

Final comments
Avoid coming any time other than September.
Don't trust what a French says: my friends have problems with their jobs. Believe them only when it's signed by them (and even so, don't trust too much)
Commercial services are dreadful. I'm coming from a third world country and I can say that it works way much better down there. Why? Salespeople respect you, working time is much broader (here, in the supposed second biggest city of France, markets close at 8pm the LATEST and of course don't open on Sundays).
Tuesday is the official day of strikes.
Sunday is the official day of protests.

“Une école généraliste”
Adrien T
France, Graduate
Engineering, Mechanical, 2019
Overall
L'INSA Lyon est une bonne école dans son ensemble. Elle offre aussi de bonnes opportunité pour les études à l'étranger, avec tous ses partenariats.
C'est une école essentiellement axée généraliste, ce qui permet d'être à l'aise dans tous les domaines. Attention toutefois, le manque de spécialisation peut être un problème pour ceux qui cherche des débouchés dans un secteur précis.
Question vie périscolaire, c'est sûrement une des meilleures!

Pros
Généraliste, bonne ambiance, bon niveau.
Cons
Comme partout, certains profs manque un peu de pédagogie.

“Great school for the French system but could be better for internationals.”
Fisnik R
France, Undergraduate
Engineering, 2022
Overall
It is on of the best engineering schools in France, however, seeing as the French system is so different from the bachelor system that most of Europe and other parts of the globe use it is slightly harder for internationals in case they aspire to seek job placements in other countries. There is also a relatively new more conventional bachelor's program however which seems promising.

“Des élèves brillants, mais des enseignants-cherchercheurs plus chercheurs qu'enseignants”
Jordan G
Poland, Graduate
, 2014
Overall
Comme énoncé dans le titre il est parfois difficile de progresser sur certaines notions notions tant certains professeurs peuvent se montrer peu concernés voire hautains vis-à-vis de leurs étudiants pourtant triés sur le volet; ce n'est heureusement pas le cas de tout le corps enseignant, et de plus, rien que les étudiants ne peuvent surmonter.
