Going to France as an exchange student?
In about a year I'm going to France as an exchange student. Are the French more laid back, and quiet? Or is it alright to be my loud self? Do you kiss everyone you meet? Or just when you're being introduced by a friend? What should I expect?

They keep to themselves. Not just in Paris but even in the small towns. And you dont kiss everyone you meet. You kiss only people you know. You should expect to be in a culture war. You have a large population of Islams, the modern kids, and the wealthy conservative people. They are constantly at war it seems. Protest and riots are a daily thing for the french. Also, be ready for people to keep away from you if you are american. Even after living there for 6 months, the French can tell who is not from France and automatically have a biased against them. Even the police have a bias.
