I bet we kick the shit out of the University of Maricaibo.</font>

<font color=#007AAA face="courier new">It's funny that when American colleges talk about tradition they talk about the great atletes and politicians that went to the school.

In Germany it's like. "Oh yeah, that guy Marx studied here. Heidegger taught here. Ever hear of Nietzche? He was a dean."</font>

I dont have a bloody clue. But iv heard figures of around 50k for tuition banded about.

Edit: 50k total for the whole course.

Their tuition is free, but they still pay for it in other ways, such as severe taxation.

The school I went to for 3 years was $32,000 US per YEAR.
I'm now at a school which is $17,000US per year.

Tell me about it. That doesn't inclue books. That's why poor people in America don't go to college unless they have scholarships (like me, which don't help much anyway). I'll be paying that off until I'm 80.

I want to move to...wherever you are.

Sure, my university is cheaper then a US one, but it's a sliding scale fee based on your residency, and besides, we pay exorbitant taxes.

You sure know how to sell me on an item of clothing!

I now disagree with casual sex.






Everyone should wear the proper attire. Leather.
