Great Support for my Project
I am currently completing my Bachelor's Project at ETH and I am very happy with the collaboration and support I get from the faculty. My supervisor invests enough time into supporting me in my first research project. The communication is professional and fast. I made similar experiences with another faculty where I will write my masters thesis. I also worked with yet another professorship on organizing a hackathon. In all cases ETH professors take time and offer sufficient support to students. It is great studying at a university where you are valued and get the support needed to learn and not just feel overwhelmed during projects.
Theoretical vs practical
My experience with the university so far was good. The curriculum is very demanding but people know that beforehand. Students have the ability to participate in a few programs to gather practical experience but they are few. So you get out of the programs without much practical knowledge.
Good
It is okay but a little much work. The work can be a little much unfortunately. But I think the building is very pretty . Especially the Hauptgeb�ude. Nevertheless I also like the ML HNO HCI NO LFW CLA and LEE

Please note that the majority of apartments / studios in the UNIL-EPFL database are managed by real estate agencies and not by the contact person who published the advertisement. This is the current tenant who has to hand over his lease and who is in charge of making the visits of the apartment and provide the agency with a few files of solvent applicants.
