I'm looking into going to Paris to do a year of language classes, preferably at a university, to prepare me for taking the DALF.
After taking the DALF, I want to stay on to do my MA at a uni in Paris. It's still early days, but I couldn't find answers to a couple questions I had. I was hoping maybe some of you guys could help.
1) According to the Campus France website, and the various universities' websites that I've looked at, tuition at public unis is around 600 Euro. How is it possible that tuition is being offered so cheaply to non-EU students?? When I lived in London, I had looked into doing my MA there, and it would have cost me around 11,000 pounds a year as an American citizen to study there. I kept thinking I was misreading the fee section. Amazing. <333
2) If anyone here has studied French in Paris, where would you recommend attending? There are a lot of language schools out there and universities offering language classes, and I'm not sure which one would be best. I'm looking for something with an emphasis on written French: grammar, syntax, summarising texts...basically, something geared toward preparing you to read academic texts and write at university standard rather than 'conversational' French. Somewhere not terribly expensive would be good, but I also don't want to pick somewhere inadequate just because it's cheaper.
Any advice or help you have would really be appreciated! Thanks.
