>OK, so not quite free.
To give you a rough approximation, for taxes there is a complex method of calculation, depending on the combined income of the family, loosely between 700 and 2,700 Euro per year, and the books may be anything between 300 and 1,000 Euro per year.
- alehul 9y agoThe original comment was meant to describe the 'elephant in the room' of how relatively inexpensive higher education is in Europe, and it definitely still holds true from a US perspective. At my current university in the Boston area, for example, yearly tuition is around ~$50,000 USD, and that doesn't even include room & board; I'm paying an additional $1,400 per month for a private room in a 2bed/1bath. With that in mind, the original comment definitely still offers a perspective I didn't consider before in terms of the cost difference in relation to the arguments in this thread.
