Hey, I'm currently a student at Holberton :) I came to Holberton after recently graduating with a STEM degree, and I can't even begin to describe how much more I prefer the learning process that happens at Holberton as opposed to a traditional college.
Also, to say there are no teachers isn't 100% true: we have amazing mentors to help answer any and all of our questions, and one of the founders, Julien, will always give lectures to help us understand the more difficult concepts. You'll have to do a lot of readings and practice, but there will always be mentors and classmates around that are more than willing to help you out :D

#15I'm a french student from EPITECH, and I can confirm that this kind of learning methode is way better.
You don't have teachers at all too at Epitech? I went thought Epitech 10 years ago, we had a couple :)
Yeah for sure we have some, but the learning is principaly made by yourself and thanks other students.

#16Hello I m one of the 42 co-founders, and I can tell this working very well. This type of education should be the "only one" but for certain type of mindset this is really efficient. By the way I helped a lot in 1998 when Nicolas founded EPITECH :-D
