Not sure if you’ll enjoy it? One of our previous UNSW students went during our winter break and here’s what she had to say…”If it weren’t for this program, I probably would not have gone to Switzerland during my exchange abroad. It is not on the top of everyone’s list when choosing places to visit in Europe – BUT IT SHOULD BE. Lausanne is in the French speaking part of Switzerland and is situated right on the Beautiful Lake Geneva with a great view of the swiss alps! The town is amazing and larger than I expected with plenty of places to see and explore. On my last day, I was sad to leave and wished that I had chosen the University of Lausanne for my actual exchange abroad!”
