>>11423794Polytechnique is the most famous and well funded school in France (arguably with SOME courses of the ENS Paris).
Their engineering is among the most prestigious you can get.
The particularity of the cursus is that it's not 100% science, there is a good amount of humanities to but it's not bullshit anglo humanities like gender studies, you learn about art, philosophy, history, etc... There is a lot of sport too.
French students there are technically part of the military.
Huge network of post-graduates too so if you cant to work in finance or in big groups it's piss easy to get a job with a degree from Polytechnique.
