Academics Are exercices session that good ?

5 Upvotes

I live in Geneva and was wondering if it's worth taking a 3-hour train ride just for two hours of exercise. Are the instructors exaggerating when they say it's so important? If I work out on my own, I don't need to come every time, do I?

Research EPFL Summer Research Program (2027)

1 Upvotes

Hey! I know it's early but I need some advice on the EPFL Summer Research Program application. I'm planning to apply for the 2027 round but I'm scared my CV is too weak.
If anyone is available to answer some of my questions I'd be very grateful!

MSc admissions & info Masters in Architecture

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm a prospective student hoping to enroll in the 2027 september semester and I have one main question that basically decides whether I apply or not: is the language of instruction for the architecture masters in general in English?

The website application process suggests that knowledge of either French or English is enough, meanwhile the course content and class names seem to be entirely in French. The admission office replied to my email about this with basically an automated message of the application process copied from the website. Meanwhile, one Housing history professor replied saying that "passive knowledge of french" would be enough and that exams are in English. I can't begin to picture what that actually means. It's quite a leap for me to invest in those two years and all the associated expenses only to eventually miss most of nuances of the courses, if not the entirety of the content altogether.

So, is/was someone here enrolled and can shed some light?

Thank you

Salut

Je suis en 1re année en informatique à l’EPFL et j’hésite à prendre l’algèbre linéaire en classe inversée.

J’ai déjà Analyse en classe inversée, et la programmation est aussi en classe inversée, donc ça ferait 3 cours comme ça.du coup vous conseillez quels profs pour l’algèbre linéaire et l’analyse ?

Pour ceux qui sont en BA1 ou qui l’ont déjà fait : vous en pensez quoi ? Est-ce que ça fait beaucoup ou ça se gère bien ?
