Personal comments

Having lived in Geneva previously, I was, of course, already familiar with the city and knew all the great night spots and cafés. In my opinion, the best cafés are the ones in la vieille ville where there is a great atmosphere. During the summertime, the lake is, of course, a favourite spot for most people. My favourite night clubs are Shakers in la Vieille Ville and la Sipe.

Overall

The Université de Genève is an excellent institution of high education. In the faculty of "lettres" students and profesors are close, the dialogue is possible. The diversity of people attending or offering courses is an excellent opportunity to create convenient relationships.

Pros

Multicultural environement, optimal for academic development

Cons

The city is extremely expensive
