“Lyon 2 Université diverse”
Diana R
France, Undergraduate
, 2022
OverallOn se sent bien intégré par les membres de l’université, ils sont toujours prêts à vous aider et à résoudre toute question.
Aussi les camarades sont très sympas, j’ai pu faire pas mal d’amis.
L’université a une très large offre des licences et masters, ainsi que de partenariats avec des universités et/ou entreprises étrangères pour faire des échanges.

Slightly difficult at the beginning as most French people i met wanted to speak English, and when you don't speak much French it's easy to let them.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I found a perfect apartment in the sixième arrondissement with 2 French students and 1 other American student. I very much enjoyed that apartment, and got along well with my housemates.

Personal comments
Housing wasn't provided by the university, so we had to find our own apartments. The search was troublesome at first because of the language barrier, but in the end, I found a great place.

“Good curriculum, lack of organisation”
Maria K
France, Undergraduate
Translation/Interpretation, 2021
Overall
At Lyon II, even though most teachers are good and the curriculum is quite interesting (depending on what you want to do later - it emphasizes translation/interpretation in different fields). But the administrative side is completely unacceptable, this year we started classes and half the people could not register because of the secretaries.
