I would like to find other anglophones to ask a few specific questions about the differences/similarities between architecture in france and USA or other anglophone countries.

Maybe you can find informations you are looking for on the discussion forum of www.archinect.com (http://www.archinect.com/cgi-bin/discuss_cgi/index.cgi ??? but I m not sure)...they seem to make many changes right now. But it s a great forum.  
I saw several times many interesting topics about schools in europe ...comparing to schools in US...and some peolple talked about France ...that s all I can do for you.

I am also interested in not only the differences/similarities between architecture in France/USA/Canada/UK but also more particularly interested in the experience of architectural education of those who have studied as foreign students in any of these countries.  
 
Studying abroad is challenging in itself; studying a course requiring such time and committment as architecture even moreso. Coupled with the practice of some universities charging foreign students higher fees (yes, it does happen) my question to those who have studied in a country not their own is 'has the educational experience been worth it?' Have you gained as much from an architectural education as you expected? Has the support for architecture students from other countries been adequate in your experience?
 
If anyone would care to share their learning experiences and also whether they would recommend their current/previous architecture schools to other prospective international/foreign students, please do not hestitate.
 
For my part I must admit that I have studied architecture at an undergraduate level at a british university - the level of support for international students (non-british/EU) left a lot to be desired in my view, with the result that several of my international friends on the course emigrated to do their next stage of the course (mostly to US). They assure me their experience has been better for it. I hope that most others studying in 'exile' have found their experience more satisfying.
 
Best regards,
