A word of advice: surviving uni in France is going to be tough. Whoever said it was going to be easy was lying. However, don't despair. This might sound contradictory but Paris I is known to be a jungle. And Paris II Assas. The other Parisian unis have definitely acquired a better reputation and if Paris X Nanterre is in your list, by all means please rush there. The most important thing that you have to understand about the French system is that while the Anglo-Saxon unis often ask for entry requirements, French unis exercise what they call le droit d'acces à l'education mais pas le droit au diplome.

Roughly translating, everyone has a right to access higher education institutions but not everyone will be guaranteed graduating with a degree.
