I spent a year studying in France (at a French university - not an American one located there) and their academic culture is quite different from ours. Had to laugh when I saw the 20 is for God comment - most really strong students score in the 13-15 point range which can be a shock to Americans used to our grading system. I can’t speak to Sciences Po, but where I was most French students left school every weekend and campus related activities were minimal. This was, of course, a long time ago. I absolutely loved it but I was a college junior and French was one of my majors so I had familiarity with the language which I think is necessary for success there (I only gained fluency - sadly eroded since - by living in France so if that is a goal, it is a great way to achieve it). All of your options are excellent so I’d go with what fits you best.
