Well I studied for 1 year in Tours, France only to learn French. The school there is great and specializes in teaching foreigners French. It's right in the heart of the city and they have been doing that for about 150+ years I believe. I stayed with a host family as well and that's a great way to get a true French experience and focus on learning the language. This year however, I'm teaching English in Toulouse and my girlfriend, who is Mexican, applied directly to the university here and was accepted. So this was not an exchange or Erasmus program, but just a general admission for a foreigner.

Maybe check with the Sorbonne to see if they allow for this.

How long does it take to book an appointment with France embassy in Ghana for student visa?
How long does it take to book an appointment with France embassy in Ghana for student visa?
I have gained admission to one of the business schools in France and has sent a mail to the embassy requesting for an interview date since May and they are yet to get back to me. No reply, nothing. Inquiries at the embassy doesn't give any concrete reply either. Has anybody from Ghana out there already been through this and can you kindly share your experience? In regards to obtaining an interview date for a student visa application (very different process from the others as iv been told) NB: There is no Campus France in Ghana

It may take anywhere from a few weeks too a month or two. But don't worry, you should get it no problem as long as you have no criminal records or anything bad.

Hello I'm going to Japan for my sophomore year with AFS. So, the most reliable programs are AFS, YFU, and Rotary. AFS and YFU are not going to work for you, due to their prices, I'm guessing. Keep in mind that with them you're not paying "just to go to France". You're paying for insurance, 24/7 emergency assistance, orientations, round-trip international travel, Visa assistance, school placement/tuition, school uniform (if necessary) access to support,etc. Rotary, on the other hand, is probably the program you'll want to go with.It's still going to run you a few thousand, though. Their prices range from around $1000 to $4000, plus the price of air-travel. If you find anything cheaper than this, it's probably not a good organization. However, Rotary is not the same as other exchange programs, you switch host families every few months (so that you'll see different places in the country) and you have to be open to other countries, as it's not exactly common for students to get their first choice. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. Hope you can go on exchange! :)
