Weird studying abroad question..?

Question

Hey guys. I got a couple questions:

1) I know that French colleges are completely free for french citizens (at least public ones). Anyways, I hold a tri-citizenship between the U.S., Brazil, and England. Does that make me a citizen of France as well (seeing as theres this whole EU thing going on), as I want to study abroad in Paris. Can I study there for a semester for free? yaaaa? Also, does this mean I can work there legally?

2) How does financing work as far as studying abroad goes. My mom owns a ton of property, so we get absolutely no financial aid and were not really considered need based (dammit), but as far as loan goes, am I able to get them subsidized? Would I get them from the government or from a bank? Can I get them from one source, or can I get it all from one place (im looking to get $20K or so).

3) Whats the best program to study abroad in France (english classes)?

4) Where can I get the best scholarships for studying abroad?

Answer 2

Okay, this is a bit complicated:

No, you're not a French citizen. However, you are an EU citizen, and will be entitled to the same conditions as other non-French EU citizens - provided they are not limited to EU residents, which I presume you aren't.

But, if you're going to France for just a short time to study as part of an exchange program, you wouldn't be paying fees to the French university anyway. You'd be paying them to your American college, who are the ones granting your degree. This won't stop just because you're in France. If you want to take advantage of the fee thing you'd have to apply directly to the French university and take your whole degree course there. And bear in mind that while degree courses may be free for some people, short language courses are almost certainly not free for anyone.

English classes? In the sort of French university which is subsidised for nationals? Nope. You really need to decide what you want here. If it's a standard "study abroad for a semester" package designed for Americans, you'll be paying the same fees as everyone else. If it's to be treated as an EU citizen to get the free/reduced fees, you'll be applying along with the French nationals, for a three our four year degree course awarded by the French university and taught in French.

There's free movement as far as working in other EU countries goes, so yes you can work there legally.
