College (in the American meaning of the word) is equivalent to what you do after "baccalauréat", the exam opening the path to university, in France. There are a number of structures, such as: (sorted by attendance)

- university; (law, languages, Social Sciences are usually taught at University)

- IUT (Instituts Universitaire de Technologie) which are part of University but students are organized in groups (the size of a classroom); the attendance is strictly controled and exams are frequent. The subjects taught are more specific (accounting, business management, some engineering for instance)

- some "lycées" (upper high schools) have a two-year course after the baccalauréat. Curriculum is mainly technical (i.e. water resource management)

- "prépa / classes prépa": they are mostly math or science-oriented and serve to prepare students to the "grandes écoles" entrance exams

- "Grandes écoles": they are prestigious and very selective. The country élite has gone through one of these.

And I surely forgot some others.

Beware that the word collège in France has the meaning of "junior high school" (ages 10-11 to 14-15)
