For students in Germany Berlin read "ExBerliner" - it will help you.

"English language publication, ExBerliner.

A cracking magazine, ExBerliner is packed with listings of jobs and accommodation in Berlin, handy city hints and some pretty cool writing. It can be picked up in kiosks, bars and caf�s right across the city, and is an essential resource for any student traveler in Berlin."

COST OF STUDYING ABROAD COMPARISON, WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO FRANCE

France

France has 82 universities, teaching 1.5m students. All are public; none charges tuition fees; undergraduate enrolment charges are a tiny €165. All lecturers are civil servants. Universities cannot select students, who can apply only to ones near them. The results speak for themselves. Not a single French university makes it into the world's top 40 universities.

It IS very problematic for me. because many UK universities just wrote the criteria based on UK degree system and not on GPA system

So I found a good site which converts them.

GPA out of 4.0	Grade	UK Equivalent
4.0	A	Good 1st
3.70-3.99	A-	1st – borderline Good 2:1
3.30-3.69	B+	Good 2:1
3.00- 3.29	B	Average 2:1
2.70-2.99	B-	Low 2:1 upper 2:2
2.30- 2.69	C+	2:2
2.00- 2.29	C	Low 2:2
1.70 -1.99	C-	3rd
1.00 -1.69	D+
0	F
