180€ of books in a single day raaaaah!!!!
I do history and political science soo, teachers give us reference books for certain subjects
is the rest of uni expensive over there(?)
here in the US, there's a bell curve where community colleges are cheap, most colleges absolutely fleece their students, and then the dirt rich top schools that give financial aid to most kids
i was fortunate to get a ton of financial aid, but i always hear people glazing schools in europe for being cheap and good
a lot of people in the US go to college not really knowing what for, and they get absolutely farmed
okay well i went to Williams - their total cost for one year is 96000 USD, and when I attended I dont think i paid over 6000 at any point. their base financial aid + book grants and work study coverage + they threw money at us during covid
I think most of the top private institutions have that kind of financial aid scaled to your household income level
but there were many, many mfs quietly dropping 96000 a year. kids tended to not bring up their finances to each other
the entire state of georgia has hope scholarship so with a 3.7 high school gpa + maintaining a 3.0 in college in state you get like 90% of your tuition paid for
those books better give u the knowledge to learn magic or something cause 180€ is 💀💀💀💀💀
i unironically don't think i've fully paid for a single book on my 5 years of university
last yearI didn't buy a single one but I wanna have some for myself, not having to rely on the library and stuff
Think it as an invesment considering what are you studying. In some career is part of it, like in some communication-related careers like design (in all their subdivisions) where you spent a lot of money on materials that you'll never get back, but it's part of the path.
Bro goes to uni 💀💀 when he can larp lamborghinis and rolex then scam people for courses
