Do I have some kind of surety that I will get part-time work while studying abroad to manage living expenses in France/Italy?

No, there is no guarantee that you will secure part-time work while studying in France, Italy, or Poland. Part-time job availability depends on visa rules, local job markets, your language skills, and your profile.

- France: Students can work up to 964 hours/year (about 20 hours/week). Knowing French improves your chances.
- Italy: Students can work up to 20 hours/week during term and full-time during holidays. Italian language skills are often needed.
- Poland: Part-time work is allowed, especially in hospitality and retail. Polish language ability helps.

It's best to plan your finances assuming you may need to cover living expenses independently.
