Hi!
Sadly,immigration to France is more or less difficult depending on where you come from...
In any case,in order to get a student visa you have to study in a French university/school in France.You need to do the inscription formalities from where you are now.
I have never heard that you get citizenship after studying for two years,sorry....
You get that if you are married to a French,have a French parent-or if you join the foreign legion (and that is NOT an option I recommend.... )

Thanks for your response. Applying for citizenship in France after studying for 2 years in France is mentioned on several websites.. including this website: under "Acquiring French nationality", it says "The above-mentioned five-year period may be reduced to two years if the foreign-born person successfully performed two years of higher education in France."

Yes,I read your link.frankly,I wouldn't count on it.As is says,it is not an obligation:they don't give citizenship to all those having studied for two years.You're not even sure to get it after 5 years of residence.It is a possibility mentionned in the law,that doesn't mean it is applied.
anyway,if you want to go to  France,you'll first need a student visa.But what is your goal?Immigrate to France,or just immigrate?I'm asking you that because France is really not the easiest place to obtain citizenship,or even a workpermit.We all hope some things will change after the elections in 2012..
