<p>if ur french or live in france, lets talk.</p>

<p>Hi, i'm a venezuelan student who's living in france during 2005-2006 school year. What are you're stats for applying to american u's?</p>

<p>Je suis allemand et j'habite ici, mais je suis aussi francais.
What do you wanna talk about? ;)</p>

<p>Don't know, how did you do in your sat's...how do you do as a french student to portrait your abilities in paper, i've been here almos 5 months and it seems to me that american and frenc systemn are not compatible at all</p>

<p>I will refrain from posting my thoughts on the French system. I shall, however, mention that wine is really cheap there and that the foie gras is good.</p>

<p>/but food is overall better in Belgium</p>

<p>I can't say much about the French system since I have always been studying in Germany. I think, however, that it is a rather demanding system. As from what I have heard the pupils are required to do a lot of work. I'm sure French people are considered as competitive overall.</p>

<p>what do you think are the differences between the american and french education system? universities?</p>

<p>I don't really know: I have never studied in France or USA.
As from what I've heard (and think), the school system in USA is rather easy. It's not that hard to be one of the top students. France, in contrary, has a rather hard system. You have to learn very much things. While this has its advantages, it has of course its drawbacks, too. In summary, I would say that France guarantees a better school education than the states. I mean, come on, the reputation of USA schools isn't really that great.
Universities is something different. All top unis are in USA. France, however, also has its elite colleges. However, I think that USA definitely has more possibilities in this area.</p>
