Institut d'études politiques de province
Héloïse J
France, Graduate
Political Science, 2021
Overall
Les cours sont enrichissants et portent dans les deux premières années sur des domaines telles que le droit, l'économie, l'histoire et la science politique. La licence n'est pas professionnalisante, sauf si choix de faire un stage durant la troisième à l'étranger obligatoire. 
Il faut attendre le niveau de master pour pouvoir réellement se spécialiser dans un domaine, particulièrement en M2 où la mutualisation inter-IEP permet d'ouvrir un champ de possibilité d'études très large.

Résumé de l'expérience
HERIE S
France, Graduate
Political Science, 2024
Overall
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.

My stay was really great, although the courses at the university could have been better. Going out is very expensive, but private parties didn't lack;

As a full-course student at Sciences Po Lyon
Loic L
France, Graduate
International Relations, 2018
Overall
The Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Lyon, or Sciences Po Lyon, is a state-sponsored high education institution part of a national nexus of smiliar schools around France which may be entered after passing a considerably selective examination that takes place nation-wide. It specialises in political sciences but also encompasses subjects such as law, history, international relations, economics and business studies, geopolitics or administrative studies, with a heavy emphasis on languages and international experience. As such, an entire course at Sciences Po Lyon includes a compulsory school year spent in a foreign university.
Sciences Po Lyon provides its students with solid academic skills and professional opportunities which are both valued in France and internationally, and that translate well in the public and private sectors.

Initial selection, well-funded public high education institution, compulsory international experience, diversity of subject and versatility of the course, high level of teaching, network in the public and private sectors
Cons
Somewhat dwarfed by its Parisian counterpart and predecessor, does not have a campus as such but located in a lively student city

That France is not as social or as fun as Spanish speaking countries.

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

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.
