I've seen lots of canadians going to the USA to go to school. My question how do these kids get the F1 visa? I was told that canadians are treated differently than europeans that they don't have to go for interview, and they just get papers sent to their house, and drive to the border and get the permit stamped and there good to go! any one know for sure?

They don't need an F-1. They enroll in school. They present the I-20 to the CBP Officer at the Port of Entry, along with proof of financial support, and they are admitted and their passports stamped.

Canadians citizens (not landed residents) are exempt most visas. As a Canadian citizen who wants to study at a school in the United States, the school must be enrolled in the SEVIS program to accept international students. The student must then be accepted and pay for the school. The student will then be sent a SEVIS I-20 Form with original signatures. Bring the SEVIS I-20 with you to the Port of Entry, inform the CBPO at the primary booth that you are a student with your SEVIS Form. The CBPO will send you inside to secondary, where you will be processed. Also, do not forget the SEVIS receipt for paying the SEVIS Fee.
