Yearlong in Lyon, France
December 28, 2016by: The Lyon Lion - United StatesProgram: Lyon, France: Intensive French, Undergrad Studies in English
I absolutely loved my experience with USAC Lyon. From the moment my plane landed in France to the day I left, every second was a challenging new adventure. From the help given before my program started by the Program Advisors to the everyday assistance and guidance given by the on-site staff and Program Directors in Lyon, I could tell that USAC truly cared about me and my study abroad experience. Lyon is a beautiful city, there is always something to do, it is also in a great, central location for travelling. I wouldn't trade anything for the friendships I made, things I learned, and experienced in this past year through USAC Lyon. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable cultural experience in France.
Lyon for a semester
January 24, 2017by: Rylie - Reno, NVProgram: Lyon, France: Intensive French, Undergrad Studies in English
Lyon was an awesome city to live in and learn french, as well as USAC was an awesome program that made even the hard steps of studying abroad a little easier. I lived with a host family and attended a french university, and also could travel while studying abroad.
Thank you for your feedback on our Lyon program. We're so glad you enjoyed your time abroad with USAC.
Best 4.5 months of my life
March 01, 2017by: Katharine P - United StatesProgram: Lyon, France: Intensive French, Undergrad Studies in English
Jo and Sarah were amazing. My group was amazing. Living in La Mad was crazy and so much fun. I still talk to my friends from the program even though we all live in different parts of the country. Lyon was truly life changing. Saying goodbye to my friends and the city was the harder goodbye I've ever had to say. Much love to my group and the city. Thank you USAC.
Thank you for your feedback. We're so glad you loved Lyon!
