Looking back years after graduating, my time at this university remains the one thing I genuinely regret in my life and it had a lasting negative impact on both my career and my mental health, which I’m still working to rebuild today. Instruction focused on rote memorization rather than real, applicable skills, and exams were unrealistic and overcomplicated rather than genuine tests of ability. They also frequently contained outright errors. Several professors operated with little accountability and showed what felt like unfair, unequal treatment toward certain students, with no real recourse available; at times it felt less like an academic institution and more like a dictatorship. Administration was chaotic and difficult to deal with on even basic matters. Despite the difficulty, the diploma isn’t particularly well-recognized compared to other universities, which made the years of sacrifice (financial, social, and personal) feel even more not worth it. I’d strongly encourage prospective students to talk to current students and recent graduates before enrolling.

I went there to watch my friend present their thesis, and the campus was nice. The cafeteria lady was the highlight she was super nice. The utilities are okay.

The worst possible university I could have chosen for my Erasmus. Absolutely 0 interest in their students whatsoever, you do not get a response for weeks (if ever), they do not care about the fact you're an erasmus student and might get lost in their weird system. I waited 3 months to receive my results only for them to be worsened in the final copy. If you chose the Deuf programme - good luck. You will be treated as a regular french student only for you to NOT benefit from their compensation system so basically there is a minimum to no chance for you to pass all the subjects. Thank you, never again.

This is the worst school I have encountered in my life. As an erasmus student, it has been 5 months and they still have not processed the grades. The school is dirty with discussing bathrooms, professors are rude and do not teach relevant information. Most of the professors who teach English courses barely speak English, and are disorganized. The administration is the WORST. They can even lose your test and say you never gave it to them. UGH!

Good university for the diversity it offers but what a mess in the organization and especially the administration. Rarely aware of the proposed activities must be thoroughly committed to know them.

The background is very nice. But there is no proper organisation. Most of the lecturers didn't do well.

Prestigious constitution. Great French university in Lyon city, France 🇫🇷

I liked the yard of the University very much
