go to a different university in Paris, you're going to spend your time with internationals regardless. If you do want to spend time with locals, join some sort of club

Final comments
Lyon isn't that great a city. I chose it because I thought it would be more French. It was, but it didn't offer any more of a French experience. Seriously, Paris or Quebec, despite the accent, is a better place to have fun. France is overrated. I've studied abroad their twice for a total of 18 months, and I speak French very well, but not because of my college experience. I did it in high school. If you must study French, go to a really, really small town with no other intl students or Paris. Otherwise study Spanish.

Dans cette grande école, les professeurs sont de qualités, la vie étudiante très variée et fournie et l'enseignement est exigeant. Cependant cette qualité est un peu voilée par le manque de lien entre les professeurs, l'administration et les étudiants.
