Before I try my hand at CampusFrance (and fail) AGAIN, I'm considering starting with something a little easier. Where can I find information on schools in Paris that offer semester-long French courses for independent students? Ideally, I would like to go to Paris for this 3-month French course, come back home, apply to a public university (which is an entirely different issue by itself; I can't navigate the CampusFrance website to save my soul), get my student visa and head to Paris.
How do I go about doing this? I think I've spent too much time reading information about all these processes because everything is starting to blend together. If there is anyone out there who can give me a clear, concise, step-by-step list of how to apply to a public university in France and get the red tape out of the way, I will be eternally grateful.
Thank you for your time.
ADDITIONALLY: I would like to clarify something. In order to get a long stay student visa, one must provide proof of residency somewhere in France, correct? Does this mean that I am to find a place to live, possibly wind up needing to pay a full year in advance for the place, BEFORE I even find out if I'm allowed to live there?
