France national student rule; this is not converted into a weekly city ranking.
Living-cost methodology
Rounded planning range derived from current UGA housing, food, transport, bank-charge and other-expense guidance; it is not a survey average and may exclude individual insurance, phone, leisure or tuition costs.
France programme delivery verification pending
CampCareer has 132 verified France programme offering records, but the inherited registered-location relationships do not prove delivery at the Phase 3 verified teaching locations. Institution or teaching-location presence is never used to infer city programme availability.
The city catalogue state is verification pending rather than “0 programmes”.
Verified universities and teaching locations
This is the initial verified nine-university foundation, not a complete French higher-education provider inventory. Teaching-campus evidence does not imply programme delivery.
