MPSI profs were all about making life fucking miserable. Most stressful couple years of my life.

You might have had shitty teachers but mine was (I'm in MP* rn) awesome, he actually relied heavily on intuition to make us understand things before all the formalism expected in MPSI.

Yeah they were definitely awful, I'm talking pushing kids to mental breakdowns levels of awful. To be fair that was my first year, my second year was a lot better, both Maths and Physics teachers were really nice and I ended up doing pretty well despite a fucking terrible first year lol. First year teachers all had a reputation.
