I would have liked to know about the possibilities of organising a private exchange. I went to Lausanne University because it was the only francophonic location offered by the University of York English department.

En mi opinión:

Me gustó pero no necesariamente a todo el mundo.

Recomendación personal

I really enjoyed my time at Lausanne. However in order to make more of the overall experience I would recommend that people take into account the academic factors before choosing their courses.

Switzerland is a unique and wonderful place. Choose the time of your exchange so you can profit from the things that you enjoy most - eg go in winter if you like skiing or summer for hiking. Also, if like at my university, there is a selection process, remember the first answer is not always the final answer. When other people drop out, places that were unavailable might suddenly become free - allowing you to go on your international exchange!

It's a great university, very friendly with a beautiful green campus. I got to meet lots of international students and some Swiss students when I was there and am still in contact with now, and that's what made the experience.

Best place to travel to is to Geneva airport and go from its train station direct to Lausanne. If you feel a bit homesick or feel like you're not meeting enough people, the university has the Association pour les EtudiantEs Concerné par une Echange (AEcE, the international society) which organises loads of events and nights out.

Costumbres personales de gasto

Spent more on telephone as I was making international calls but SMS are roughly the same. Accommodation was surprisingly cheap, but my halls and accommodation at my home university is quite expensive anyway. Was spending more on nightlife but went out less so it balanced out, but found travel, especially round the country, a lot cheaper.

Comentario personal

Swiss trains! Train travel is relatively cheap and can be brought down by buying a one year half-fare card (demi-tarif) which gets you half price tickets on train lines, and the vast majority of buses and boats. It costs about 150CHF but it is most likely that it will pay for itself. Overall, I found that Switzerland was cheaper than people say it can be, once you get to know where to cut costs.

Alojamiento

Tipo de alojamiento: Off campus student accomodation

Organizado por: Universidad de origen

Si volviera, eligiría: Habitación de intercambio

¿Por qué?

The accomodation provided for through the SOCRATES exchange was in the international student house. While this was very social and enjoyable, I would have hoped to have more opportunities to practise my French on a day to day basis. Like many international scenarios, English was the universal language in the international student accomodation and I would have preferred to stay somewhere more francophonic.

Comentario personal

The appearance of the apartment block was very off-putting since, from the outside, it appeared to resemble a prison. However, it was very friendly and the shared facilities meant that we interacted more frequently than other student households also provided by the university. I made a number of close and lasting friendships with the people who lived on my corridor.

Recomendaciones de cursos

I took a number of courses and found the overall teaching quality varied enormously. By far and away the best teacher was the linguistics professor who brought an inspiring amount of enthusiasm, research and wit into his classes. I wanted to change my major!

Comentario personal

There was a lot of confusion between the two universities I was attending. Neither academic from either university would agree with the other or provide an adequate support. I believe that at least one of these professors has been taken from his role as exchange support since I returned from Switzerland.
