The effort to take those shots (especially the ones you were walking, pretty sure it's an effort to record them on your own), really well made. I hope you can continue creating these types of vids here.
What a great video. I was recenlty admitted to the Data Science master and I am now trying to pick between EPFL and UvA, but definitely leaning towards the former. Now I just need to find a place to live. 🥶
if it is possible, please add tour of the city, university, and your apartment. Give future students some ideas about cost of living, rent of apartment, cost of utilities. It was hard for me to find video about them. Thanks
First of all, thanks! I do try to maintain a consistent level of productivity, but honestly, I do experience highs and lows. Sometimes, indeed, one takes a step back to later take two steps forward
Awesome video dude! Its really amazing how much you managed to encompass in such a short video. I’m also looking forward into pursuing a masters degree at EPFL, although my GPA is around 5.1, do you think I’ve got a chance getting accepted?!
Thanks. Imho, GPAs aren't directly comparable across different schools. Some students may have lower grades but still rank high among their peers. Admissions committees want to see evidence of academic ability, and a higher GPA can be one indicator of that. However, there are other ways to improve admission chances, such as through projects, international competitions, and other relevant activities
hey am one of ur subscribers n i wanna ask u about sth actually am thinking about studying in epfl next year but i rlly don't know what bachelor i have to choose (i saw their web site btw) so my section is technology n all my professors r telling me that i should study computer science since am rlly good with algorithms but i only know python n barely some c++ n actually there is another section in highschool called cs! but am really keen n passionate about cs so i wanna know if those who studied cs in highschool will be a step forward or not n if i'll be able to go with the flow n get good grades
I'm afraid that I may not be the right person to answer your question, as I'm not a bachelor's student. However, here is some generic advice I can offer. CS at EPFL is probably one of the best CS programs. It will teach you strong foundations and give you the chance to branch out into many other fields later (if you want). Having knowledge of Python is already a great plus, and familiarity with C++ is also beneficial, as there are many students who know only Matlab, even at the master's level (which isn't bad, but companies are more eager to see experience with languages like Python, etc). Keep in mind that it's a top school and admission may be quite competitive. Definitely worth a try. Though, I can't say too much about the bachelor's program, don't be shy to shoot your department an email with any questions (I did it several times).
hey i am currently in my first year of bachelor in computer science at EPFL. Firstly if you want to do CS studies , yes take this bachelor (or you can take System of communication , both are exactly the same the first year and at the end of first year you can change) Secondly , for theses bachelor you don't need knowlegde in CS before begining, they start from 0. Btw in most other bachelor at epfl you study the C++ the first year, but in computing you study Java. (ofc knowing a few basics first helps) And to finish i see that you asked for the price of the food, here on the compus if you want to eat at the canteens or food trucks it's about 8-10 fr. Personnaly like a lot of people i bring food i have cooked myself.
Hey! Thanks for the video, now I'm more motivated to apply to the MSc in Computational Science and Engineering. Any piece of advice will be greatly appreciated :-)
@ricardomarino8554 hey! Can't say anything specific for this program but my generic advice is to focus on SoP: the goals, experiences, and courses you'd take
Hi Dan Karz, I am one of the aspirants of EPFL for Masters. May I know what is the difficulty of getting into EPFL for a robotics program from a mechanical background
Hi! I don't know how difficult that is but I'd assume that getting into any technical program at EPFL should be similar. Mechanical background for robotics program is great
Hello , I’m a student in faculty of pharmacy with GPA 3.7, i’d like to say if you know any student with gpa under3.8 who is accepted for EPFL program??
@@DaniilKarz oh thank you… I have another question please, I don’t know how to write a professional motivational letter so can you share yours to help me writing a strong one?
@kcnl2522 Hey! I'm not really sure that one can. For most students, there is a 15 hour limit per week for work in the industry; you will be allowed to work only part time if you're taking courses. However, it's sometimes not the case for work in a lab. Also, students often take a 6 month break to do an internship and then go back to studies
@@DaniilKarz thanks for the response! Yeah im aware o the rules but my question was, if the workload leaves you space for a 40 hour work week (some people can work online for companies outside switzerland).
Got it. Depends on the person and the preparation level. I knew someone who actually did it. But they had to cover the whole course program during a few days before the exam 😅
Hey, I know its a very very silly question to ask and sometime may seem like a disrespect. But I'm literally dying inside for wasting my bechalors. I would like to ask that do you see any people got accepted into EPFL (especially engineering) with no research paper and mid gpa like 80%-90%? And I'm sorry for asking the question. Would be greatful if you reply. Have a good day man.
@thoseeyes0 Hi there! It’s quite common for students not to have a research paper before or even during their master’s program. A GPA of around 80-90% is generally fine. As long as you can demonstrate your ability to study effectively, you should be ok. It’s also worth noting that GPAs can vary significantly across different schools, so a 90% GPA might not always be directly comparable. While having an indexed paper is definitely a great advantage, you can improve your application in many other ways. Engaging in programming projects is especially relevant for engineering. Participating in hackathons, competitions, and Olympiads can also be beneficial. Among all these, I believe your SOP is the most crucial. You need to convince the reader of your potential and skills. Good luck!
@@DaniilKarz Thank you so much. I cracked some hackathon. I would try to do more. Thank you for your reply. It really helped. Have a great great day man.
Check this resource out: www.epfl.ch/education/studies/en/financing-study/ You should also keep in mind that it depends heavily on the person. The main spending per month typically goes on housing and food. The housing options vary depending on location, type (room, studio, flat), and whether it's only for students (like dorms) or private. The same goes for food. You may cook for yourself or often eat in cafes. Some people can spend around the number on the website alone on food, but I knew a pair who spent only around half as much for two. It depends on many factors: if you eat a lot of meat, dairy, and sweet stuff, which are typically more expensive. Again, the choice of shops matters. Aldi and Lidl are considered to be cheaper. Migros is slightly more costly but the quality seems to be notably better, imho. Coop is next but usually has a wider range of veggies and stuff.
@@kesavdarshani spend around 300-350CHF on food (high protein diet, but i prepare almost all my meals and rarely eat out). my housing costs approx. 900CHF per month. pretty expensive...
Thanks for the information. Is there a way i could send you a DM? I actually planned on choosing EPFL for Masters degree, Data science to be precise. I'd appreciate if you can be of help or rather link me with someone that study Msc in Data science.
great job editing. IMO you could totally lose the content where you are getting out of bed and etc. it's just uninteresting. everyone gets out of bed. we know what it looks like. it'd be much better to focus on what distinguishes you from others like your studies.
Thx! I agree with you. Initially, I wanted to make the day as detailed as possible. Now I see that the viewers drop around this moment or similar. Some things could be done differently, I'll fix these in the future
All master's and PhD programs are fully in English. Bachelor's courses are most often in French, but I heard that people find alternative courses from other sections in English
@@whodis5774 It's fine, depends on the person. Not as great as when you speak French though as the vast majority (especially at the BSc level) speak French. Depends on where you live also. There are small dorms where you never see your neighbors. On the opposite, there is Vortex where always something happens
Hey everyone, I just wanted to say that I didn't abandon the channel and am planning to make another video in the near future

Bachelor's is a mix of both
