Video COMMENTS:

AKDGsonic: In France, Panthéon-Sorbonne Paris 1 is the real Sorbonne. University Paris-Sorbonne Paris 4 is just the largest counterfeit of the Sorbonne.

umi mulyani: its cool,be'e…..aku ra ndelok kok'hehehe\n\n

slydeery: C'est une situation assez triste quelque part, parce qu'elle alimente la guéguerre permanente entre tout le monde.\nMais remarque, ça permet à beaucoup d'étudiant de se réclamer de la Sorbonne en même temps. \nEnfin bref, bon je retourne à mes affaires.\nBon courage pour ton mémoire et bonne continuation ^^.\nEt puis P1 ou P4 c'est pareil en fin de compte. C'est juste une autre manière d'enseigner je crois. \nAllez courage et ciao :)

slydeery: mais de rien. \nToujours content de donner un coup de main. Les étrangers ne risquent pas d'être plus avancés qu'avant avec notre débat. \nLa situation des Universités en France est très compliquée. Quant à savoir, qui est l'héritière de la Sorbonne, c'est un débat sans fin. \nDisons que La Sorbonne en tant que telle est morte sans enfant, voilà. C'est que semble dire la Mairie de Paris. \nLes U, se réclament toutes de son nom, parce qu'elles savent bien que toute leur visibilité dépend de ça. 

slydeery: Yep you're right, because they didn't wanted to give the name Sorbonne to anybody. \nBut since it's the only thing people know out there and since P4 P1 and P3 allready had the name, and use it a lot. They gave it. \nSo now we have Sorbonne universitéS haha Sorbonne paris cité and HESAM which has Sorbonne in it too. \nThey don't wanna decide who has more the right to have it, because they don't wanna disvantage anybody. Besides everybody claim to be the heir of the Sorbonne, they need the name

LikeSunSmile: au temps pour moi. je viens de lire le rapport de Sorbonnes Universités. au environ de 2016, ou un peu plus avant 🙂 \nFaut que j'aille modifié mon mémoire alors. 🙂 merci en tout cas 

slydeery: oups, I meant PIV not PI sorry and it's an endless debate 

slydeery: Well, \nI don't know about HESAM or Paris novi mundi. But I know for sure, that the aim of Sorbonne Universités is the reunion of PI, PII, PVI and more. Around 2016 if everything goes well. \nBut It can be more complicated for HESAM since the insitutions involved are very different (EHESS, EPHE you know what I mean).\nAnd the Chancelerie des Universités, decided to give the administration of the building to Paris 1 but I don't think It means much. They can take it back. \nBut is an endless debate 

LikeSunSmile: Actually,Sorbonne UniversitéS (with a S please), at the begining wasn't allowed to be named like this. however Valérie Pécresse, the secretary of research and higher education allowed because she didn't want to loose more time to establish the association of Paris 2,4,6.\nfuthermore Sorbonne Universités will be more a association university than a strictly University

LikeSunSmile: actually, Panthéon- Assas is the best university for studying Law (except for international law, where Panthéon-Sorbonne is better). For economics, Panthéon Sorbonne still better than Panthéon-Assas. The masters of research are really great. a lot of students in Panthéon-Assas go to Panthéon-Sorbonne to study economics after "Licence économie" (bachelor of arts – economics).\n\nToday, the big U (Sorbonne UniversitéS, or HESAM) do not impact the reputation of Masters, and the ranking 🙂
