The ENS de Lyon viewed by Megan Hughes

Her experience at the ENS de Lyon as an exchange student in 2015-2016. My first experience of the ENS Lyon was as an Erasmus student. I'd opted for Lyon over Paris in a bid to sidestep some of the inevitable year-abroad clichés. Neither the city nor the university disappointed; I left to finish my degree wishing that I could stay. Priced out of postgraduate study in the UK, the decision to return to the ENS was a simple one, particularly given the university's pedigree and its focus on research-based learning. The fact that it's a relatively small institution also played a part in its appeal, since in terms of both academia and social life there is a level of familiarity which appears to facilitate expression and creativity. Although any student abroad takes time to find their feet, I had found integration into the ENS community to be fairly straightforward - as straightforward, at least, as integration into any francophone community can be.
