Newcomers to the small stuff, whether in bachelor, masters, etc. in exchange. have the possibility of the integration week organized by the student association of the EPFL: Agepoly.
week costs 200 CHF (about 130 euros). You are asked to bring a change of clothes (including shoes), a sleeping bag and good mood: P.
The week began on Tuesday at 13:30.
I will not recount in detail all that is done, not to spoil the fun future participants. Ok, so I say a little more.
This does not really look like a French integration. It is made by (large majority) of students in second year of bachelor. The atmosphere is really not: the former is our master at all, they made their obedience, but rather a big band mate who has fun.
After visiting some parts of the school (library, language center), we went by bus direction Gruyere. It made us believe that we would visit the museum but actually not, we ended up in a huge chalet in the Alps ... 
The chalet (yes it is wood)
the agenda of the day's games will know, a drink with lots of varieties of Swiss cheese, and an evening with a little alcohol. .. Among other things, beer Switzerland pressure:
Well I'm not a big fan of white beer Edelweiss pressure, it has a weird taste (flowers?) But for those who do not like beer, all kinds of cocktails were present ... ehhh yes, they have not signed the charter on alcohol from Esisar: p.
Well, once we see the EPFL, the building of Agepoly ... we understand that there is money, lots of money.
After a few hours of sleep (is counting on the fingers of one hand) and a revival in pots, we made an orienteering and cannioning.
It was really nice. We had the sun, which allowed us to warm up a bit in the water at 8 ° C. In fact it went very well, we had combinations (6mm?) Semi waterproof.
As every night, Wednesday night was a little party, sleep, little sleep, waking casseroles (baricadé good we had the door with a cabinet, so it went. I pass on details.
Thursday was dedicated to games in the EPFL. It was good because given the size of campus before I was really confused.
the evening, we stayed at the Hilton in ... ...
EPFL 
In fact, it was a dormitory of the school's bunker . Ah yes, as in all Swiss homes, there is a fallout shelter. 
The entrance to the bunker 
An armored doors 
One of the two dormitories where they had access the evening, as every evening a little party but this time in the chalet serving municipal hall in the city of Lausanne, small cabin in the woods a few miles from home. Well, when I saw it was 80 in two dormitories in the bunker, with some alcohol too, I preferred to go on a bike at home and finally have 8 hours of sleep. (I had planned the coup by not drinking hardly at all.)
was introductory and Friday, or rather, the open house.
the program, speeches Official presentation of the various associations and welcome by his section.
For the record, I agree Emilien, and you walk. All of a sudden he turned and said to me, the girl in purple, I've already seen somewhere on Valencia ....
few hours later, the door would take place or the home section of Emilien, this young lady again.
All of a sudden flash of genius: THALES. Emilien had worked a home two years ago for the internship and the technician had met the first day. Emilien
not too daring, I'll see her and ask her if she comes from Valencia. His face changed suddenly, she was very surprised. In is it really lives in Valencia, but was educated in Lyon at PBS. She looks very nice, we'll see later for a drink together. Moral of the story: the world is small.
(I have another story in the genre, but I have to check something before you tell it ....).
Good evening games in the small stuff and a meal. Being a bit sick, very tired and having learned that I should go see the head die Sunday with my plan of study (or at least a draft), I decided to return.
I returned for lunch, but in view of the tail, I jumped on my bike and I've been eating a good old chilli corn carne. I'm too lazy to go to resorts in other box.
Today it's raining: /. The program included a rally in Lausanne. I dropped my team (shame on me) and I preferred to stay at home, work and my study plan to do some shopping for the weekend. Anyway I think go to the party tonight will be huge.
My views on this week is that it is expensive at first, but that in view of the activities, it's worth it.
At the human level, I met many great people. I met the young French and Swiss entering bachelor, master info and being in the same people from finishing their master.
I'll be able to ask them for advice on course selection;).
