Living à la Lyonnaise

History- and French language-lover talks about her classes overseas

A reformed skeptic when it comes to studying abroad, University of Nevada, Las Vegas senior Cesia Cordies wasn’t sure she would go through with it until her visa was processed and she enrolled in her classes at the Universite Catholique de Lyon in France. A double major in History and French language, all her classes will bring her closer to graduating — while she is the farthest she’s ever been from home.

Now, living in a new city and constantly practicing her third language, she is building new relationships, studying, volunteering, and embracing her host culture wholeheartedly. Join Cesia as she chats with USAC Alumni Content Coordinator (and former USAC Lyon student) Colette Horton to discuss French culture in and outside of the classroom, and the beautiful balancing act of living like a local in Lyon.
