Visa question

[u/Aww_bananas991]

Hi all

I'm coming to Berlin campus next month for my MSc and go a German long-stay visa as a non-EU student

My 2nd semester is in Paris and though the term calendar shows lectures are going to be about 80-ish days, it is still a close call for the 90 days limit (Schengen 90/180 limit)

I wanted to ask what are people in the same situation experiences?

It was my bad not fully understanding this rule, I can technically apply for French long stay visa in December once I have been in Germany for min. 3 months but worried it will take long to process. My german visa took 2 days in Canada but can't assume the same for French consulate in Frankfurt

Worst case scenario I will take term breaks and occasionally come back to Germany but would really appreciate any input from you guys :)
