How fluent at a foreign language do you become at Uni?

Been curious about this for a while. Say you learnt a language from scratch and got up to the 6th language unit (like Japanese 6), how fluent is that exactly?

Started from scratch for French, ended up in level 8 (I think it's now called "French Studies Advanced 2")

I was a D average student and I'm not even close to fluent. I'd rate myself as borderline B1/maybe verging on B2 if I'm being SUPER generous on the European framework.

If you're looking for fluency then I'd strongly suggest you do an exchange! I studied in Germany for only 6 weeks and tested at solidly C1 on that framework when I came back, so imagine what a semester will do for your skills :)
