Education system
The education systems of France and Germany are similar in some respects, but France does not accept high school students, but only China students who have taken the college entrance examination. Therefore, if you plan to study abroad in your sophomore year, France may not be the best choice.
French learning
Before coming to France, you need to complete a series of procedures and learn French for at least 500-800 hours. Although the requirements are relaxed now, TCF or TEF exam is still a necessary link to test your French level. Therefore, it is necessary to study French systematically.
Visa procedure
When you are ready to come to France, in addition to the previous exams and interviews, you also need to go through the visa formalities for CELA. This is a complicated process, which needs some time to deal with.
cost of living
The cost of living varies greatly in different cities. The cost of living in big cities such as Paris, Lyon and Marseille is higher, especially housing. If you choose to start your language learning trip in a small city, 7000-8000 euros is usually enough (including tuition). After you enter the professional study, your expenses will be relatively reduced except for the expenses of the language school. Of course, after obtaining long-term residency, you can work legally.
