[QUOTE="Laetca, post: 179818"] My parents pay everything for me. I feel like a cheat, but that's generally how it goes here, there's no such thing as student loans, if your parents don't make enough money, the government gives you the money, under circumstances (you can only fail a year once in your uni career, but you can have a joker year to change what you're doing), but you don't have to repay them. I do get the idea that we don't spend that much on uni, students here in General I mean. Uni fee is little over 500€ (it's 80€ if you're studying with a government grant), I'll spend about 200 to 300€ a year on books, copies, ... Not counting money for food or transport, since my parents pay those too. I usually buy half of my books myself, without telling my folks since I think they already spend enough on me. I don't get to buy too many useless books, had to buy more of the kind I never looked into when I was doing economics, but now that I'm in linguistics it's not that bad, I don't really need to buy books, other then novels, most professors write either a syllabus, or a book, and except one amazingly stupid woman who made us buy a book that was A: utterly useless, B: had a cost of 1€ per six pages. If you don't live near a university or the university where you want to study you'll spend a lot more, since you have to rent a room, but I don't think they spend more then 500€ a month on food and housing. I probably 'win' when it comes to stupid wallet stories, I lost mine two years ago in february, I went to he police station, blocked my cards, renewed my ID card and such, when I had everything, I found my wallet in my mailbox, minus the money, wasn't too much in it (that's the good thing about being broke). I go and tell the cops that whoever found it empties it and then returned it, leaving all my stuff in it, when it was stolen out of my bag at university. In a crowd of about 50 people! Back to the police station, back to city counsil, funny thing was, I'd purchased entrance tickets for a prom that was a week later, for six people. So for whoever stole it, my wallet had 30€ and 8 shiny pieces of utterly worthless paper, unless they intended to go too. I never lost it or had it stolen since, it was just a stupid coincidence that it happened within the same month back then. [/QUOTE]
