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.

Comentario personal
It was frequently difficult to find situations where I could speak French since many people in Switzerland are already fluent in English and enjoy the opportunities to practise it with a native speaker. I found it quite off putting to be responded to in English when speaking French and actually found I spoke French most frequently with the many German-speakers who were also in Lausanne to learn French. (This may explain why I seemed to have picked up a German accent in my spoken French!)

Valoración global
Si lo hubiera sabido...
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.

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.

Comentarios finales
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!

Costumbres personales de gasto
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.
