The bachelor of Polytechnique is a rigorous program with a high workload, excellent professors, and brilliant students. The courses are extremely interesting and allow us to explore a variety of fields before specializing. The program is heavily focused on mathematics, which I particularly enjoy. While the courses are very challenging, the professors and teaching assistants are always happy to help, and there is a lot of collaboration between students. The student body is very diverse and highly inclusive.
The campus in Palaiseau is quite far from Paris, but this allows the school to offer excellent sports facilities. While the campus itself may not be particularly exciting, campus life is very active, with many committees and a strong sense of camaraderie between students, especially since we all live in the same building.
Overall, it is a fantastic scientific program at the best engineering school in France, ideal for highly motivated students who are curious and eager to be challenged.
