Need guidance

[Alparagus]

Dear College Confidential members,

I was born and raised in France. I’m sad there are no websites like this one in France that is why im writing here. Please forgive me.
I’m gonna turn 23 in July. I had a terrible high school experience. Including harassment, bullying, publicly exposed in my city, high school but I have managed to pass the university entrance exam ( baccalaureat ES). With an average grade of 11.92. Then I have started law school in a city called GRENOBLE that i have left because I didn’t like this major and i got publicly exposed in my university because of my sexuality. Corona times were tough but then i have decided to do a world tour. From 2021 till now. Honestly i feel a little bit behind compared to my friends because they all have master degrees and everything. EVEN if i have convinced myself sometimes that degrees aren’t that important, I have realized that they were important or at least important enough for me. I DONT wanna study in France. Maybe another city could work but im really tired of the french mentality i feel horrible.

My question is, anm i late to start undergraduate at 23?
are there any other countries where i can study a bachelor degree in English ? I really wanna start in fall 2024.

My grades are the following ;
FRENCH Writing : 12
French speaking : 7 ( terrible )
Sciences : 11
History and geography : 15
Maths : 6. ( ı regret it I didn’t know that maths were that important and were a selection criteria im most universities )
Social and economical sciences : 11
English : 19
Spanish : 18
Philosophy : 15.

Please I REALLY need some guidance and help because it starts to consume me from the inside. I REALLY wanna study abroad.

Take care
Kind regards

It’s not too late…but what are your options in France?

Didn’t you post last year?
What have you been doing since?
What do you want to study?

Your best bet is admission to a Cegep (students are 17-19 and adults). You can choose any program and “redo” your bac+1 with a DEC in Economics with Math if you wish which will allow you to skip your 1st year OR prepare a DUT equivalent (DEC technique) to find a job or join a related University program.

Past mistakes affecting my present and future [in France]

Hello, Apologies in advance for my bad english… it took me a long time to write this, but I’m very desperate and I need advices from more experienced people. I’m 22 years old and I’m from France. Depression is hitting me hard for the past days. I had a terrible high school experience, because I got harassed,bullied during high school and this because of my sexuality. It affected 60% of my behaviors during high school. I had low-mid grades but most importantly it affected my professor reviews because I wasn’t behaving properly in class. Constantly trying to prove myself during class, trying to make people laugh because I was deeply hurt and excluded inside. (Not only because of that, it’s also about personal behaviors). But luckily all my professors saw skills and capabilities through me. I have excellent communication skills, language skills. Unfortunately I wasn’t expecting that not being serious in high school will affect me that much in the future. I graduated from high schoo…
