I am from Brazil, I don't know how it is in other parts of the country, but there are no restrictions here as far as I know. I heard of people that would study in the school in the other side of the city because it was considered the best school. But there is a limit of how many students a school can accept, so they need to enroll as soon as possible. And I think they need to arrange their own way to get to school, because it's not a route the school bus would make.

Bear in mind that my city has around 100 thousand inhabitants, I don't know if this considered small or medium in US.

100k would be considered small. San Francisco has 800k people, and it is considered small.

San Francisco is considered small? Its a top 20 city in terms of population.

i live there and i think of it as medium sized, but then again i'm from india :) 800k would make the top 100 in india, but certainly not the top 20.

Wow TIL! And I've been living in SF for over 10 years!

City vs metropolitan area confuses many people. A size of a city “feels” like the metropolitan area, but that it often technically many cities up against each other.

I agree, but that's not the case here though. Just SF the city, not "SF Bay Area", is the 17th largest city in the US! SF feels small, both in area and density.
