Student visas/ Year abroad

[enthused]

I recently got accepted to spend the upcoming school year studying in France. I need to obtain a student visa before I go, but I don’t know a whole lot about going about it. I’ve been reading up about it on the internet and everything but I was wondering if anyone has any advice on getting a visa (student or otherwise, since I’m assuming the process is fairly similar). Any help would be much appreciated! And on a slightly different note, has anyone else done a year abroad in University? How was it?

I found this:

There is also another way through travel cuts called Swap.

Hopefully you will be able to find some information there.

As for actually obtaining a visa, I have not personally done this, not yet anyway.
