“Très enrichissant”

Language, 2020

Overall

Une expérience très enrichissante, avec des intervenants professionnels de qualité faisant bénéficier de leur expérience. Les plus du Master : les deux stages/le stage + l'alternance qui permettent une professionnalisation efficace. Le fait que la promo soit réduite (30 étudiants max) permet des échanges constructifs et utiles à la vie pro entre étudiants et avec les enseignants. Le Master a en plus sa propre association permettant à chacun d'entreprendre le projet qu'il souhaite.

Personal recommendation

I loved studying at Lyon III because of the location and the people. Academic life wasn't incredible but I think that was because it's much different in Canada, there's more structure and education is less biased because students learn from text books whereas here you take notes on what your professor says and that's the only perspective you get.

Personal comments

Favorite night spot: Black & White. They ad a great mix of music from all over the world including the american pop. Events not to be missed: The festival of lights in Decmber. It is a beautiful celbration with such a rich history behind it. It is kind of like the "Ball drop in NYC" you must do it at least once. The street market in Vieux Lyon on Sunday mornings: The people and the fresh fruits and vegetables are amazing and cheap, plus it is great way to truely interact with the native Lyonaises.

I wish I had known...

French bureaucracy is ridiulously frustrating and the habit of passing responsability on to other is quiote annoying as well.

In my opinion:

I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.

Be aware that French students are very cold at first but once they open up, they are very friendly and dedicated.

Personal comments

There is truly no better way of learning a language than in a country where the target language is the native language of the people. Even without spending a long time looking in dictionaries and vocab books, I was able to improve my knowledge of French considerably.
