France Blog

I spent the 2020-2021 academic year studying abroad at the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées Lyon (INSA), a prestigious engineering school in Villeurbanne, France, part of the Lyon metropolitan region.

During that time, I decided to share my experience by writing periodically throughout. The most recent contribution is on top - for my very first post, scroll all the way down. I've included lots of pictures - enjoy!

If you're thinking about doing something similar, send me an email and I'd be happy to chat.
