What a heartfelt story this is!
I can relate to the pain as I had gone through the same. I am glad the France government is taking the right steps to do the needful.
However, I do feel that the Universities stop looking at international students as mere "money producing machines." My university had many loopholes which prevented the international students from quickly getting coops or internships. They make it so hard that students coming from overseas automatically don't qualify.
Thanks once again for choosing to write a critical issue. I feel privileged to have read this story.
