Really depends on the universities. EPITA, EPITECH, SupInfo and the likes are way overestimated and overpriced compared to some good universities.

I know a lot of people coming from both sides of the fence and there is a huge difference of level. I challenge you to find just one university in France that gives you a formation equivalent to those of epitech et al.
Well, I come from a CS master's of the university of Nantes and I don't feel _at all_ like I have a lower level than if I went to one of those schools. It's clearly the other way around.
I would hope so since Epitech/Epita is bac+3 whereas a CS master is bac+5. Although I doubt many universities would still reach those schools level even after a master.
SUPINFO / EPITECH / EPITA are bac + 5, you make no sense
Oh right, I've never met any people doing a Master of CS though so I don't know the level. I was talking about bachelors.
CS master of Nantes is a really high level diploma comparing to some other universities , I will get mine from the same university this year (hopefully)
From what I heard from an ex student about Supinfo, it is many orders worse than EPIT*. It was almost a scam (circa 2007).
