Alpadia Lyon - Academic Year Abroad

Being immersed in a country’s culture is without a doubt one of the best ways to learn the language. Living with a host family means getting to know the way of life of Lyon locals from the inside – their food and customs – while having an enriching experience. It's also your chance to practise French daily in an authentic context. Your host will be carefully selected by our partner school. Living around 20-35 minutes from the school via public transport (please note that this may be longer during busy seasons), you will stay in a single or double room with breakfast only or half-board provided.

Sometimes the best way to unwind after a long day of classes is to go back to your very own studio apartment, just 22 minutes from your school through public transport. Your room will have Wi-Fi, and will be equipped with a desk, table, chair, wardrobe, kitchen, and an ensuite bathroom. Linen is provided, but you must bring your own towel—both can be cleaned for a small fee in the onsite facilities. You will be responsible for preparing your own meals and keeping your own space clean. When you feel like socialising, there is a big lounge room where you can meet your fellow students, and a terrace to enjoy on sunny days.
