oh french have free university! >:3

[signboyy]

those students could make those repairs for a couple of dollars.

a small price to pay for free college.

whereas in america most people cant afford to pay tuition while living at home.

i guess the right wing media wants to try to somehow put france's free higher education in a bad light so that americans dont start demanding free higher education.

Au Maroc ou en Algérie les conditions sont bien meilleures alors pourquoi ne pas y rester ?

The reason for all this is very easy: the lie of costless higher education for everybody. Let those bastards pay five times more and they'll get a good shower. The state of this shower actually represents quite well the state of the whole quality of France's universities.
