Good luck everyone! I'm getting my Masters underway this semester!

I'll donate this picture as well:

When the going gets tough, go Carroll Shelby and push through all that bullshit. Life ain't got shit on you.

No, I'm French and our schools/universities works differently than US Colleges/Universities.

We are (like many other French engineering school) a general engineering school. In my school I don't have to choose a specialty for the first 2 years (at 30/35 hours a week of classes/experiments/...).
The 3rd and last year I have to choose which major I want to do in either in my school or in a partner school (I am going to Auckland for my 3rd year).
At the end I will have an general engineering degree from my school, and a MSc in Mechanical engineering from University of Auckland. Some of my friends will simply have a general engineering degree from our school. No major is written on the diploma.

And to get an engineering degree, whatever the field is, you have to study for 5 years after highschool. Most of the time, years 1 and 2 you study advanced mathematics and physics, then you pass a competitive examination that will, maybe, get you into an engineering school.

Quite a mindfuck ain't it ?

And all of the best engineering school in France (Polytechnique, Centrale Paris, ...) deliver a general engineering degree. And the vast majority of engineering schools (like 95%) are free (except a 800-ish € fee every college/university student has to pay each year)
