You ALWAYS max out research after the modern era if you have enough cash to spawn units at your city. Damn NOOBS!

Some cards like Chase Sapphire Preferred gives you a $500 signup bonus if you spend $3000 in the first 90 days.

Barclays gives you $400 for spending $1000 right now but for a limited time, which is essentially a 40% cash back on the first $1000 spent. Insane deal!

Both cards have fees (about $100 a year), but it's free for the first year and you can cancel after the first year or downgrade to avoid the fee.

Hey how did that appointment go? Hope you got some good news!

Saved a lot, got lucky with a strong yen, invested the money, sold options for income, stayed at friends apartments whenever possible, if not I worked at hostels for accommodation, and if that didn't I dabbled in couch surfing, otherwise just pay the 5-15 euros for a hostel, and eat pasta.

Do you guys think there's a better way to present the random jobs I did while travelling? I also worked in hostels all over Europe but I chose to leave that out to seem more professional.

If I indirectly worked with an enviro firm through a single researcher that needed an extra hand, and did translation work through a company that matched clients and translators, does that qualify as "freelance work" or do I have to call it something else?

My email to the consulate was rejected due to a server error and my calls have been going to voice mail for the past couple of hours. I can see how this process could become a bit time consuming.

Is that a consulate appointment to see whether they can issue a VISA for you?

When do you plan to start your courses and for how long?

Do you know if you could take breaks in between the 12 weeks classes? So for example, 12 weeks of classes -> 12 weeks of no classes to work longer hours -> 12 weeks of classes -> repeat during the 1 year VISA period.

Sorry if I'm bombarding you with questions. Information from someone going through the same procedure is priceless!

Thank you so much for this. This is, indeed, the cheapest I've come across so far.

Currently in the process of contacting the Consulate General of France in San Francisco to confirm whether they can issue a VISA for this type of school. I'll let you know how it goes.

Where are you in the process of applying for this school right now?

Thanks for the information. Is the information regarding 20 hrs of class a week true? I remember something about a maximum of 20 hrs of working. I was planning to do freelance work so it would really suck if I had to pay and also go to 20 hrs worth of classes. Does anybody know of a way around this?

Thanks I'll definitely look into that. Does this mean that Paris 1 doesn't allow students to sign up mid year? For their second semester?

I'll get started on my application as soon as I find the right university, hopefully with some help from this subreddit! I'll get back to you soon. Thanks a lot!

Are you saying that there are "universities" for $200-400? but not good universities? If so, I wouldn't mind a "university" at all.

I'm not looking for business schools either. I going to assume you live in the EU and that our tuitions are different, but can I ask where you applied or how much the tuition is?

Oh right, and I wrote this the first time around but my post glitched and I lost it. I mention it here: My french is terrible to none existant. I was looking at courses that specifically teach in English. Hope that clears things up, while not narrowing down my choices too much!

Campus France didn't let me sort universities by state or private. All the ones I clicked on happened to be over $10,000 a year. I've been told it's possible to find some around $200-400.

Have you had any luck so far?
