Personal spending habits
Food and drink was significantly more expensive in Lausanne than York. However I didn't have a telephone so naturally spent less, but also had to communicate less with friends and family back home. Travel in Switzerland is considerably more expensive than England but also more reliable. For this reason I probably made more excursions than I would have done at my home university.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Host university

Why?
Actually, the first semester, I lived with a family. The second semester, I moved to university housing, located 15-min [by foot] from the university

Personal comments
The family's house was smack dab in the center of town. Unfortunately, my university friends lived far from me. The university converted lakeside housing for athletes of the sports facilities across the street into housing for students.

“Mon avis sur l'Université de Lausanne”
DImitri B
France, Graduate
Law, 2020
Overall
L'université de Lausanne est une bonne école pour faire ces études. Cosmopolite, elle permet de faire des connaissances avec des étudiants venant de divers horizons. Les cours enseignés sont de qualité. De plus, longeant le lac Léman, elle offre une vue imprenable sur les alpes française.
