How to live in France
It made me
worldly
 "Living in France was equal parts just what I was hoping for and not what I expected."
How I did it: The study abroad program at my university. I first went to study in France for 3 1/2 weeks during the summer and enjoyed it so well that I knew I had to go back for longer. (Well, that and I fell in love with a french guy while I was there.) I worked three jobs to save up enough money, applied for ten zillion scholarships (received not many) and am lucky enough to have parents who are willing and able to help me out. I couldn't believe the red tape involved in just a simple student visa, but I got everything worked out. Lessons & tips: Start the visa process as soon as possible. Be aware that you will likely have to go far away to get your visa. I live in Kansas and had to go to Chicago. Study-abroad programs seem to be geared towards the rich, but they're possible even if you're more like me. What helped me the most was having a french boyfriend, his family, and my temporary host family all willing to help me. If at all possible, I recommend getting to some natives. They help. A lot.

How I did it: Went on a very long trip, rented a house, and lived there for a few weeks. Going back next year again, with the same group of friend. Enjoying the beach, the wine and the scenery Read how I did it…
How I did it: I used all the resources I could find on the internet to research study abroad programs in order to find the one that fit what I wanted. I started planning early with plane tickets and applying for my visa. I already had a passport so that part was easy. I asked people that had been before questions and asked the company questions, and everyone I knew questions. Read how I did it…
yebw Preparing for arrival of puppy!!
How I did it: I did it the old-fashioned way. I married a Frenchie (and then as is the norm in France we divorced.). Anyway, there was nothing much to it, you fill out some paperwork, and then get a job. Read how I did it…
I need to live in France before I die. I love the language, the culture and the romance. I want to find out if it is everything I have dreamed it to be in my head. I want to determine if it is somewhere I could stay for a long time.
I am thinking about studying abroad in college, but what I really want is to live Hemingway-style, just drinking, writing, going to clubs and drinking coffee at cafes with sunglasses on.
i have really wanted to live in europe for a few years now. i ended going to sydney australia instead about a year and half ago with a study abroad program for 5 months – HUGE mistake. it was not the experience i was looking for what so ever for a number of reasons but i think mostly it was not the culture i was looking to surround my self with. i came back to the US thinking i would never want to do something like this again. it has been about one year since ive been back and recently i cant seem to stop thinking about how amazing it would be to have a few months in france or barcelona. i feel as though i am just so drawn to it…i love meeting europeans, watching french films, trying to speak spanish, the music, the food, the culture…
and so i want to live in france for 2/3 months initially and see how it goes :P
bubbleyum994 is doing homework.
I’ve been doing a lot of reasearch and it looks like there is A LOT of paperwork. Ugh….
Ah…France. Quite a wordly place. I feel like it would be good for me because I am fascinated by the country. Their food, language, love…
That said, I don’t think I would live there full time. Perhaps during my gap year…
I am indeed going to live in France next spring. I will be in an artist-in-residence program in Lyon for 3 months. I’ve already signed up for an intermediate French grammar class and conversation class! I’m going to make the most out of my stay so that someday I can return and live more than 3 months there.

I’ve taken French since middle school. I know one day I’ll go I just have to decide when. I was actually considering going at the start of the year. Just moving into a flat for a couple of months to see how I liked it. I’ll look more into this.
