Further information
Accommodation:
- At the start of the semester, finding accommodation is very difficult. If you want to avoid the stress, you should accept the offer of a place in a hall of residence from the International Office in Lyon.
- Otherwise, you should start looking for a shared flat via www.appartager.fr or www.recherche-colocation.com at least one month before your departure. Accommodation (whether a shared flat or halls of residence) is expensive in Lyon.
Support from the host university:
- The support provided by the International Office is excellent, and Mr Depraz, the departmental advisor, goes out of his way to help you with your course selection.
