> private schools are expensive > I checked Epitech tuition fees, it's around 40k€ for the whole 5 years curriculum $9100 a year is indeed expensive for French schools, but I'm sure some Americans on the other side of the ponds are chuckling right now.

For comparison purposes, tuition fees in a French public engineering school were around 700€/$800 per year when I was there about a decade ago, and I wouldn't expect this to have changed much.

  Not sure about France, but in the Netherlands now it's 2000 euros. Though I believe people are trying to lower that again.

  In the University where I teach, fees are below €500 a year, AFAIK.

    No they don't. The chaussette has to be repaid...

  This is without considering students whose parents have low revenue, thus getting access to financial help from the government. This was my case. Technically, I was paid to go to University, with 3600€ per year for being one of the top students.

  2012-2015 was still 700€/year at Centrale - I'll let you guess which one. Don't forget though that housing, food, "Sécurité Sociale", library, etc. weren't included.

    Yes but food and housing is not included either when attending a private school.

  For more comparison, tuition feeds at my alma mater (a German university) were 500€ per year. Most of that was for the semester ticket, that allowed me to use public transit completely for free across the entire state (Saxony).
