Very happy with my choice
It was a very welcoming experience. The courses are high quality and professors very knowledgeable. We had many company visits which are good to see real life applications. Also the school administration is very very responsive
Get to learn new things
At first it was really tough and it's been tough till now, but it's a good way to put the students into work. The classes are too dense with little or no time for the students to go through what had been taught in class during the day.
Experience in IMT Atlantique , Rennes , France
The experience over here right from day 1 has been pleasant and good till now . The Faculties are friendly , easily accessible and very helpful . The Hostel room is very convenient as it is present inside the campus . You can go to the class from your room in no time .
