study abroad movie, Erasmus, Bologna

1. My Netflix CDs for the week-end brought me a good movie that I recommend to prepare you for your experience. It´s L'Auberge espagnole, in French, Spanish, English, Catalán, and other languages, about European students on an Erasmus program in Spain: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Auberge_espagnole
(What do you think about the Catalán professor insisting on speaking Catalán in class even though the Erasmus students request that he speak Castellano (Spanish)? What do you think of his response?)

2. What´s the Erasmus program?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ERASMUS_programme
It´s a study abroad program among the countries in the EU (European Union) that facilitates student participation. Should the US join other countries in a similar program?

3. The Bologna process is also interesting:
http://www.coe.int/t/dg4/highereducation/EHEA2010/BolognaPedestrians_en.asp
It´s the standardization of university curricula across the EU whereby you can take university courses anywhere in the EU and the credit will be accepted by other universities in the EU.

As a student, what do you think of these two possibilities? Would it be beneficial to you for the US to participate? Do you think that the EU would extend that opportunity to include universities in the US? Why or why not?
