Andreas Katsikakis

The worst student services on earth. My god, these people work 3 hours a day and refuse to answer emails. I can’t imagine an easier job, sitting around all day refusing basic inquiries. I’m so tired of this university, I’m looking forward to never having to see this place again.

L. K.

Shameful in a NEUTRAL country!
Respect over 700 years of neutrality, a source of national pride, and respect Swiss citizens who wish to remain NEUTRAL... or get out and "courageously defend" your ideas on the ground, not just with banners while staying warm and well-fed!

Y. P.

It is incomprehensible to me that an educational institution that is partly funded by taxes tolerates and condones criminal behavior. Personnel consequences for such behavior are inevitable, regardless of the political narrative among the institution's attendees.

???????? ???????

I delivered metal structures for the construction of a new building for the University of Lausanne library... I couldn't find the entrance to the construction site... Thanks to the university security service for escorting me to the unloading site!

There's a Swiss French teacher named Sophie here with extensive teaching experience. Taking her summer French classes here has been incredibly beneficial. She's humble, respects every student, and is dedicated and responsible for each one's …

Tu peux toujours Chercher

Very funny and passionate teachers, others who no longer change their course at all while waiting for retirement, knowledge that goes at its usual slow pace, cautiously. Use of some psychophobic terms in psychology??? But in reality it is …

alex sau

Great program, the only problem is that the schedule is far too restrictive. For night owls who fall asleep around 6 a.m., the schedule is hard to follow. A 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. time slot should be offered to give everyone a chance. #FreeAless

Nicolas Fridez

Group work as currently organized does not guarantee a fair assessment of students' knowledge acquisition. A student may not participate in the group work. If a student is absent, their workload falls on the other students in the group. …

S B

The administration of this university is catastrophic!!! No communication between administrative staff, everyone gives the information they think they know, false information which sometimes compromises the student's academic progress!

Julien Reynes

A beautiful, green campus, quite well-maintained, with a lovely view of the lake and the Alps on the other side. Numerous services are available on site. It is an important center for research and teaching in Switzerland.

Alex Marín Méndez

A very nice and spacious campus. Everything is very well maintained. Excellent facilities. Everything is top-notch. Parking is available everywhere. Ample sports facilities. Lots of green areas. A beautiful place.

Luca Pirelli

The campus is simply magnificent, the best in French-speaking Switzerland and perhaps even in all of Switzerland. It is one of the best universities in Switzerland in terms of courses.

Alina Jin

So the field was own by a rich madam who decided to donate all those houses and fields to the Lausanne government, the places she used to lived are administration offices now. …

LONG LIVE THE NATIONAL DAY OF THE OLDEST NEUTRAL AND DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!
SHAME on all those at UNIL who hold noisy and pointless processions, bellowing …

Meine Meinung

Julia Steinberger represents the university. I sincerely hope the university investigates this incident internally. Or does the university support such obstructions?

Silvia

It's appalling that taxpayers' money is being wasted on such a professor! This shouldn't be happening. The university needs to take action now!

Gennaro Cozzolino

Strolling through the streets near the University of Lausanne

The team gets lost admiring a thousand shop windows set up for the holidays.

Lancelot

A university full of fake health passes and fake PCR results.

In short, a giant cluster, and to think it's supposed to be clever...

Victoria Gregory

Unfortunately, this university tolerates criminal behavior by its professors! I demand that this professor be dismissed immediately!

Fabien Siegert

Very friendly place, the teaching is very rich with highly qualified teachers! The atmosphere throughout the campus is excellent!

Louis Krieger

The gong that rings in the Unithèque at 10:45 PM is unique. I recommend it to all university students, it's an absolute must-see!

Ahmet Burcin Yereli

There were a lot of Turkish politician and bureaucrat graduated from this university in the early period of Turkish Republic.

Laure H.

A beautiful university in an idyllic lakeside setting.

Close to the city center and with excellent public transportation. …

This university tolerates criminal behavior by its professors. Where is the dismissal? A very bad example.

Wilmer Garcia

Excellent campus, very well maintained. The library is a real gem and a model to follow. Congratulations!

Infrastructure, resources provided, framework and teaching are cutting-edge.

Maria Martin

Not very nice with the university parking, a fine on Sunday of 35f ? …

Laurent COSTES

Superb sports complex. Do not come by car as there is no free parking.

Clément Dubos

A parking system that looks more like extortion than anything else.

Kenji Katsuragi

Training in 1982, and study of the document in the library in 1986.

Riccardo

Great campus and wonderful view on the lake and the mountains.

wojciech stefan Bielak
