I learned how great it is to step out of your comfort zone and make new friends in a new culture. I also loved the idea of a new city to get lost and explore in. - Rockhurst University View Entire Review

About

Lille (population 225,000) is a charming city in the Nord-Pas de Calais region of Northern France that has retained its exceptional Flemish heritage while offering the luxuries of a modern city. Lille was developed around the Deûle River and has been home to many political influences and cultures, many of which can still be seen on the façades of its ancient and eclectic architecture. Once an industrial hub, Lille has since become an important academic and cultural capital of northern France, perfect for students wanting to experience the best of what the country has to offer.

The city boasts an attractive old town with a strong Flemish accent, three renowned art museums, tasteful shopping, outstanding dining options, and a cutting-edge, student-driven nightlife scene. Enjoy strolling down the city's narrow, cobbled streets, or take in the essence of the city at one of its lively cafés. You will find that the Lillois have a well-deserved reputation for friendliness in which they take great pride.
