I want to study abroad to Paris France but I have no clue what to expect. I looked it up and it didn’t really help.
I was just wondering where exactly do you stay when you study abroad, do I have to rent an apartment or do I stay on campus? What exactly do we do? How long do we study there? Is Paris safe to wonder alone? I really need help. Any other detail may help.
Oh and when do the courses take place and do I have to speak fench like are the classes in french?

Paris is safe but it is expensive. It will cost 50% more than in the U.S.
If the university doesn’t arrange for campus-housing, you’ll have to figure out where to live.
Unless you are going to a specific British or American institution, yes, of course the classes are in French! Of course you have to speak French! Your essays, coursework and exams will all have to be written in French too. Your interviews and tutorials and presentations will be in French. What were you expecting? They speak French in France!
Since your American everyone just going speak English just for you! get real here. The French are very proud of their language. So when in France make an huge effort to speak French. Don’t go around saying: Parlez-vous Anglais? Yes classes are in French un less like most Americans they go to American Universities in Paris.
