    In France after high school you pay 170€ the first 3 years the 243€ the next two, 100€ more each year if you don’t have aides from the government. Some engineering schools (~600€) or private schools are more expensive.

    That’s a total of 1496€ for a 5y curriculum at most, if you don’t have any aides. (810€ for a shorter 3y one)

    For reference the monthly minimum wage is 1398.69€ (without tax).

    So if you work two months at McDonald’s you can literally pay your entire education with enough room to spare if you didn’t pass some years.

    (Engineering schools is more but it isn’t crazy either)

    That’s without any help, but we have some cheap apartment specifically for students, help to pay the rent. And in addition to this you can get a sizable amount depending on the income of the parents, sometimes enough to live on.

    So why in the hell would you pay 50k. That’s 33 times as much, guys just come to France, or the EU and your set lol

        Your textbook is enough to pay for all of our education.

        Did no one thought about having a library for that lmao.

        P.S. Or more seriously on putting the material online.

      Everything you’ve said only stands for public university (which is better than private schools however). In the private world, you’re looking at ~10000€ a year.

      I believe it’s more expensive for foreigners to study in France now. You’re looking at ~3000€ per year IIRC.
