Hi, I'm Gabrielle and I have a six month marketing work placement at Ikea Saint-Priest. I go to Royal Holloway, University of London, and I study French and Management. I'm arriving at the beginning of August and don't know anyone. When is everyone starting their study at Lyon? I'd like to go to any Erasmus related events in Lyon. It would be good to hear from anyone who's gonna be there when I'm there. :)

Bonjour à tous!

Je m’appelle Terence Chan et je suis d’Angleterre. J'étudie les langues (le français et l'espagnol) à UCL à Londres. Je suis étudiant d’échange et je vais passer un trimestre (DEUF) à l’université de Lyon III Jean Moulin dès septembre.

Je suis à la recherche d’une colocation dès septembre jusqu'à mi-Janvier. (Je cherche depuis fin juin et je n'ai encore rien trouvé, du coup ça devient de plus en plus frustrant... :/) J’envisage d’habiter au 3 eme, 7 eme ou 8 eme arrondissement, car ils sont près de l’université, mais au 1er ou 2eme marchent aussi. J'espère vivre avec des gens de la même fac ou les français/es de préférence, particulièrement ceux qui étudient les langues, mais tout le monde est bienvenu. Mon budget est maximum 500€.

Un peu de moi : A Londres, j’étudie les langues (l’espagnol et le français). J’adore la musique et donc je fréquente aux concerts. Je parle couramment anglais, cantonais et mandarin (je serais ravi de pratiquer avec vous), et le français et l’espagnol au niveau intermédiaire (entre B2-C1). En plus j’ai aussi commencé à apprendre le russe il y a 2 ans et le catalan depuis un mois.

Récemment, j’ai joué dans une pièce de théâtre à l’université, qui s’appelle « Le Voyageur Sans Bagage », du coup j’aimerais bien faire du théâtre quand je serai à Lyon. En plus, J'ai besoin d'abonner à un gym, avez-vous de bonnes recommendations?

N’hésitez pas à me contacter, même juste pour se faire connaissance ou pour un verre ;) 

Salut !

Hi all!

I'd like to study in Lyon in next academic year - so here is my question for those who are studying now - what are costs of living? I need some basic idea of that.

Best regards,

J

The average rent is around €300-€500. It really depends on what you are looking at and the area as well. A beer is around €6-7 on average, whic isn't very cheap. A week of grocery is between €30-40 for me. Once again, it varies from people to people. A monthly transport pass costs €31, it includes all the metro, trams, buses and cable cars (except the airport express)

Hi! I'll be moving to Lyon in September 2017 to do a management program at IDRAC university. I'm looking for an accomodation nearby the city center. I have heard district 1 and 6 are nice to live in. But i have also heard somethings about student recidences outside the city center. Is their anyone who has experienced living in Lyon and can they advise me where to look for a student room? And has anyone experienced living in the ''Allix''?  Thanks :)
