Is it better to study in France or Germany? I am a liberal arts student

Hello, I am studying in France now. I can simply answer your question.

The education system in France is similar to that in Germany. I know more about the French education system. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of people studying in France: high school graduates and college graduates (college graduates are also allowed)

If you want to study abroad as a sophomore, France is absolutely impossible. Basically, high schools in France do not accept high school students unless they are immigrants.

French universities only accept China students who have participated in the college entrance examination, and there are still a series of procedures you need to go through carefully before going abroad. It is necessary to learn French before going abroad. Generally speaking, it takes 500-800 hours. But now this requirement is not so harsh. Every student who intends to study in France must take the TCF or TEF exam. This kind of exam will test your French. So it is necessary to study French systematically.

I don't know whether the English of the French and Germans is good or not, but the English of the French is really not so good, far worse than that of China. Germans are a Germanic people. This nation is characterized by rigor and a serious attitude towards things. They are unsmiling. So in Germany, people may not feel romantic and casual like the French.

If you come to France, before you come, in addition to the exam I mentioned above, you need to pass the interview of CELA Embassy in the visa procedure. These are very complicated processes that need time to deal with.

As for tuition, French public universities do not charge tuition. You only need to pay a registration fee of 200-300 euros a year, so it is very cheap. But the fees charged by language schools are relatively expensive. Generally, one academic year 1800-4000 euros. Every non-French major needs to go to a language school when he first comes to France.

The cost of living in every city is very different. The cost of living in big cities like Paris, Lyon and Marseille will definitely be higher, especially housing. The rent in Paris is really scary. If you choose some smaller cities as the first-year language learning places, 7000-8000 Euros is generally enough (including your tuition). Entering professional study after the first year will cost less besides the huge cost of language school. Of course, after obtaining long-term residency in France, you can work legally.

However, under the influence of the economic crisis, it may be difficult for Germany and France to work.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer, and you can ask me any questions.
