      Thankfully the university costs me a whopping ~150€ a year, and I get some money from the government while studying.

        That’s awesome good for you! I’m in the USA, I had a full tuition scholarship but still had to pirate/ buy textbooks, and as a commuter had to keep up with my car and feed myself. Wasn’t terribly fun doing college + 25 hours a week of work and still being broke and never having free time but I got it done without burying myself in hundreds of thousands of debt like some of my friends that just took loans out for education.

          I’m very glad of the system here. Education is free, I only have to pay the student union member fee and student healthcare fee. I get left with 66€ a month from the support money after rent, living 1.5km from school. Also a tram goes straight to the city center from in front of my building when I want to go there.
