I’m a current student at 42, myself and my fellow students all had a pretty good laugh at much of their comments. We didn’t really see an accurate representation of our school, and much of it came across as a bitter student who wasn’t accepted.
For example, there is a cat at the Paris campus and the students are asked to ignore it and not pet it. That guidance turned into the ‘rule’ that if ‘the cat touches you, you fail’. I promise the school doesn’t have a secret failure cat.
I’m referring to the reddit link, not the HN comments.

- mygo 8y agoI once wrote a purely academic article about election map data visualization and after it got picked up by Fast Company it was amazing how some people in the comments were convinced that it was written to further some sort of political agenda. Just sitting there reading that made me go wow, I wonder what I’ve been lead to believe from the outside looking in that is just flat out unfounded
