#32I'm a student of the first batch at Holberton School and I loved learning with that approach. I thought it was effective at offering students a strong understanding of computer languages, and more closely resembles the type of learning one has do in a work setting. Also, I think it helps develop the skills relevant to being a life-long learner! :-)

#35I'm a 42 Paris student. Before I did a master degree in a classic french university. It's really different. After 5 years at uni I still needed to learn a job and was not valuable on the work market. After 2 years in 42, I know that I'm valuable on the work market because where I worked as an intern they wanted to hire me. A lot of students quit 42 before the end of their study because they found an interesting job or build their own business.
Because I learn a lot by myself, I'm not scare to learn different programming languages. And I enjoy a lot to have the time to dig into some aspect of a concept when I went to, instead of rushing it because a teacher has still a lot to make me write down.
If you have motivation, schools without teacher are a good way to learn software engineering.

#36I've almost finished 42 french cursus, and I have to say here that's the best part of my life, i've learned with much fun algorythms, make path findings, how to optimize code, enjoying asmin sys things as well as IOS or android things, build my own shell in C calling syscall and builtins, make ;y own secured libc, learn infography, made some interactives fractals, rasterisation, raycasting, how to dev shaders, to parse blender-made obj in pure C, made some corewar championships, coded a VM gameboy (emulator) parsin ROM and initing registers, rebuild my own kernel, make a linear regression program, learned about IA things, developped my own deamon, make some socket-link on client/server architectures, multiplayers game, discovered ocaml, python, C, C++, make my own 3D engine, security things as buffer overflow and format string bug binary exploitation, system vulnerabilities, cryptography things, made a turing machine, and many more things i've discovered by learning to learn. i'm now hired at Sorbonne as ingeneer, continuing to come at school to help my new peers, and I LIKE HOW I ROCKED MY LIFE IN THREE YEARS !
