Hey, thanks for the reply, this sounds really interesting. Would you care to tell a little more about it?
To get accepted you first do an online test, then a 30 day in-presence test (pain :), then if you get accepted you can learn mostly in your own speed (only in presence). The curriculum is done mostly in C and C++ except some more specific projects. So far really satisfied with the projects, they really go in depth and take a fair amount of learning. My campus is great, we have nice Macs, a gaming room, fitness room, free coffee, sleep room (power naps), music room, etc...
The connections you can make are also great as you are surrounded by other motivated students every day.
Tell me if you have any specific questions, otherwise you can probably find information and the nearest campus here: https://www.42network.org/42-schools/

Sounds fascinating. Looks like there's no 42 campus in the US. So this is a nonprofit?
reply
Yes the schools are nonprofit, purely financed by private sponsors. I think US had one in California but it had to be closed because people sight up just for the benefits you get as student like free housing...
