École normale supérieure

"I cannot recommend studying here as an international student - unless you want awkwardly elitist professors who shamelessly compare themselves to peers at more prestigious US/UK universities, the coldest, most cutthroat environment, and, complex and arbitrary regulatuons (when your credits are not recognised and you are not allowed to graduate as planned, do not expect explanations, sympathy, or solutions - you will just have to write off your time here as an interesting experience). Also things were regularly stolen from the rooms by these "elite minds" and there were also bedbugs in the dorm rooms in the historic building (45 rue d'Ulm)."

"Promo 15 SI physique. Nice historical building now with young living interesting minds and spirits."

"I applied for a job highlighting how I was a physicist. The guy whose name was something like "Desprat" the desperate had connections with Stanford it seems and California in general and wrote to me how he was not interested unfortunately as he was looking for a physicist. They barely read a cv and that's not very good. I think he couldn't get past my name truth be told. As such I don't think it's a serious university. Perhaps he looked at the cv and turned into hateful too. Who knows what goes on in there. I feel like most academics engage in cyberstalking a bit everywhere particularly those with links with British or commonwealth majoritarian States in the US such as Stanford / California and with the UK. Anyways, I see it as a gain but yes I'd have expected this type of oversight at a not reputable university let's say. Stanford is not reputable but I felt like Paris used to be at least. So it's sad to see it go down this way but can't prevent it. I can just leave a 1 star feedback. I do wish it the best and that level goes back up again though. Lots of love from an Italian French-sympathizer. ❤️"

"Teachers and researchers are amazing human beings. Can’t compare. Best library too. And the cafeteria is great"

"If you're looking for the most learned people in all of France, you will find them here."
