France is the 3rd country of destination for international <a href="http://www.infinisearch.fr/site-1804-etudinfo.html">students</a>. As well as Paris, in France there are lots of university cities such as Toulouse, Strasbourg, Montpellier, Bordeaux or Lyon. To sump up, there are : 83 colleges, 230 business colleges, 250 engineering faculties and many special schools, including Art college.
Current plans for university reforms in France have as a background - infrequently distinctly, occasionally implicitly - comparisons with education in the US. Nonetheless, the debate about American universities appears too frequently marked by a sequence of misunderstandings that not only stop the good experience of the opposite side of the Atlantic as well as any analysis of the evils of French colleges.
<b>What can we compare for the 2 systems?</b>
First, a question: what do we compare? Mostly, the comparison is the French public colleges and the biggest U.S. Personal universities. But this comparison can be misleading. It ignores the various examples of American higher education, split between public and private research universities ' liberal humanities colleges " (which gives a degree in humanities and social sciences equal to BAC +4 in France) and" Community Colleges " (BAC+2 fairly popular). Indeed, as well as the major personal research university known in France, each Fed. state also has a structure of public varsities, frequently of top quality e. G the University of California at Berkeley or the University of Wisconsin at Madison. But states that invest less in their schools also have smaller colleges.
<b>The money in question in America system</b>
Then there's the issue of resources and funding. Much is to give varsities the means, but where the money comes from the U.S. ? For public colleges, it comes first taxes in each state. Then the registration charge amount, in the case that Harvard isn't the most expensive , up to $ 47,215 with accommodation without health insurance. Even a public university like the famous University of Berkeley is $ 4,465.75 every year, without accommodation for students in California, amounting to $ 14,769.75, for those coming from outside. How does a student have to pay these raised costs? Through a system of grants and loans that historically has one of the highest proportion of young people in the world to obtain an advanced degree, but leaving students mostly indebted.
And colleges, especially private, also have the famous "endowments" major non-taxable investment funds managed by schools, where about one 3rd of the funding in the case of Harvard, which has the biggest background and permits it to provide free education to modest students. These fees, and endowments, in part explain the great resources - libraries, well supplied labs, etc.. - All French analyst visiting the United States notes and envy this system.
Lots of subjects can be debated about the differences, but we have here a good first approach of the issue.
