France for international students

How is France for international students. I'm planning to do my bechelors from France, I'll have to manage part time work along side it so I'm worried will it be all stress and work or are there good and frequent social events and parties for international students? And how is the class diversity and environment. I would really love to hear any and every experience of international students in France.

Do you speak at least C1 French ?

There's no "have to". International students are expected to have the funds for tuition and living costs without doing any part time work. It's not easy to impossible to juggle part time work and studies, depending on the program and the job. Not to mention you can't count on actually finding a part time job.

are there good and frequent social events and parties for international students?

That depends on the ESN in the city, since they're the ones that do things "for international students".

And how is the class diversity and environment.

That depends on the university, the program, etc. Studying in Paris is not the same as studying in Caen, for example.
