I loved USAC Lyon

Studying abroad in Lyon with USAC was easily one of the most rewarding experiences I had in college. The program felt organized and supportive without ever being overbearing, which made it easy to settle in and start exploring. The staff were approachable and genuinely cared about our experience, whether it was helping with classes or just giving local recommendations. Lyon itself is such a vibrant, livable city with incredible food, beautiful river views, and so much history around every corner. My classes were interesting and manageable, leaving plenty of time to travel, practice French, and build real friendships. I left feeling more confident, independent, and grateful for the experience.
