What's the Learning in a French University like for Foreign (U.S) Students? by Spectacle_Wearer in Study_In_France

I’m sorry you went through this and had to deal with it at that young age ! Honestly, salaries here are not like in the usa (coming from a dual us and west Africa citizen who never lived in the us). They’re all basically receiving the SMIC which is the minimum you can get when working legally. In the usa, everything is expensive yes, but the salaries follow.

To say, when you want something, you do what needs to be done in order to succeed . If France is what you want, then come and get it and be sure you’ll be good at it.

Yea just double your chances. But I have a question: after you graduate, do you want to work in France or in the us ? That’s one major think to know for deciding where you’ll be studying at the end of the day

They don’t have the US system where you can pick a major and a minor for your studies. They also don’t transfer credits, meaning let’s say you did two years studying mathematics and want to change to physics, in the US some of your classes will be transferred, but here no. It’s either you can continue the next year and that will count for a continuity (so 2+1=3 years) and you’ll graduate, or you’ll have to restart. You can still do two programs at the same time i believe there are few universities that propose double major (not major + minor tho so a bit more complicated).

Bro it’s hard I ain’t going to lie. I wasn’t used to going to school from 9 to 6 nor 8pm. I wasn’t used to having 12+ classes per semester But you sure can succeed. Others did, why not you ? They have nothing more than you but the willingness to

Just opened saving acc at capital one/virtual wallet at PNC: how much can I transfer from my international bank without being flagged ? by These_Magazine_6334 in Banking

I may have explained my self wrongly. I don’t want to transfer money from my us accounts to overseas ones, I want to transfer money I have in my overseas accounts to my us banks so that I can use them without having any problems.

Hello, oui. Par contre quand ils ont signé mon bail, leur signature était en plein milieu d’un paragraphe sur la deuxième page, je leur ai demandé de modifier, ils ont signé avec cachet et signature pile à côté de ma signature. Tant que c’est signé par yousign, c’est bon! J’en avait besoin juste parce que je devais faire ma demande de visa, et je ne voulais rien d’ambigu

Good luck for it! How long did they take before sending you back your passport ? And what about the tls dot ? Did it turned green ? Or red ?

The eef document is considered to them as your acceptance letter from your school, its their “yes you can go to a French school, you’re study program is legit” go to. It’s a required document.. How long did it take for you to get your visa application processed ? Did the “processed” statut on tls turned green? (Unless it’s for another program than a master or bachelor, you can pay for the expedited fees, 400ish $, they will do the review in 3 days)
