In Holland, you pay the same fee for every Uni. Except like maybe three private schools that are so expensive that just mentioning it could give you a heart attack. But the rest are about € 3000,- a year

Here all Uni's are payed. There is like one good and famous state university (an another one that everyone swears it's not private, but really it is) and the fees are nearly the same. Not much though, not much :D

Here, you pay a supposingly lower rate and there are loans. Still, tuition prices are going through the roof. Such as for my program, several years ago it was $4000 CDN and now it's about $12,000. I'm kinda glad I graduated sooner.

 

And it may all not be worth it since a lot of graduates can't even find good jobs after work.

:lol: Uni per year here it's like £2,000 ($ 2,200,000) (funny but we have our rates in punds too :lol: ) and that's quite a lot If you think that the minimmun salary is about £100,00 ($ 140,000) and what most people earn is like £350,00 ($370,000)...... but there are loans and people who can afford university :D

OMG! That is so expensive! I am a believer that all educaion should be available for evryone, so not so expensive! But then everyone would enroll, even if they didn't care. So I think the thing with credits is brilliant! In Holland you get a loan, which you don't have to pay back if you graduate within a certain period of time, and if you get the minimum amout of credits. And this makes the thing work. The schools are relatively not that expensive and you even get a grant, but you do have to work for the money! Otherwise you are stuck with a major debt!

Well it's about £1,250 a year at the moment but after 2005 it will be as much as £3,000 a year depending on which Uni you go to.

So much for the idea that 50% of young people should go to Uni eh Mr Blair?! :P

my answer: number 4 from top...u pay, but less, at state univ.

£1,250??? That's cheap!!! I mean I suppose that's an average carrear (because Scientific carrears are expensier, at least here) but stil, it is cheap, If you take into a count that you earn like..... uh lots and lots of pounds, I mean in comparison with us, and t's like cheaper........ I still think is cheap, but maybe the cost of living there is way higher than here, so that balance the things, I guess :/

Here you can ask loans too< on the State Universities it's like harder to get them because there are many people asking for one and there is this popular believe than State Uni are better than privates, and to a certain point it is true, mostly depending on what you want to study. To receive a full scholarship you have to be living in totall poverty really and ...... I do believe my country's Uni system is unfair, very unfair, because just like 10% of the total population can afford it without problems, and I would say it is even less...... but going back to the subject, you do get loans, by academical merit and sports.... and well for entering to Uni you make a test, which it sucks and they just change it and no one know what it[s what they asking and so, it's called the P.S.U and the top 200 results go to Uni free because the State gives money to the Uni that get the 200 best "points" so they offer everything to those 200 students. The loand thing, once again, well it depends really which one you wanna take, but most take a long term loan, and they end up paying for like 15 years, after they graduate, for the carrear.... that's the very long term one tho he normal one it's that you pay through uni a smaller amount, like 75%, graduate and then pay the rest, with the interest rate of course!!!

 

That's the unfair, stupid (because it really is) and burocratic University system we have.......... :D

haha...no it's not free...you have to pay to get anywhere here...

:lol: Same here, so don't feel especial :P

*Ahem*

Ed laughs at you!!!

hmmmm.... that much for the education.... it feels like the Middle Ages.... first it was only men who were able to get an education... and now it's only rich people.... :confused: :confused:

 

Gonna have to change that! So everyone should VOTE! If you're old enough that is he he he

 

 

Btw. What are your thoughts on that? - I do see that the most of you are under 18, but would you spend time on figuring out who you want to vote for, or just not vote at all? (If you don't know who to vote for)

I am quite curious. Loads of my friends just didn't vote last year! Only because they didn't know who to vote for, whilst all of the information was widly available. And I just think that's wrong...

Well I won't be able to vote for the primaries (Presidential elec.) but I'll be able to vote for deputee and mayor, and sure I will! First I think it is a duty I have; it's a civil duty and I'll doit :D Then, well I believe that If we want to ask for things and change, the first thing we should do is go and vote; I hate when I see on the news those young people protesting about some studity (like when the busses started to charge + $10 -which is absolutely nothing-)... half of them didn't even knew what they were fighting for! yeah, because they fought against the police, and broke houses and start firing things....... argh! awfull!

Indeed! I am very concerned and involved into social issues.... *not studying law for nothing ;)* and I think the Dutch system should change in several ways. However however rebelious I might be, I think it's better to work from the "inside" and not shoot yourself in the foot by fighting the police and causing only agression and violence! I am so ANTI-VIOLENCE!!!!

I think the Chilean system should change in lots of different ways too; I really disagree with it A LOT... but then, it doesn't affect me much, because well because I'll be able to go to Uni as the system is going and I got quite a lot of priviledges too, and I think that's why people here do not want to change the system. The ones who can change the thing, after all, are the educated people, and well, since educated people got lots an lots of priviledges here, I dont think they will, at least in the near future.

 

I like to work from teh inside too, though I live in like a "bubble", quite isolated from the masses and stuff, so that's why I guess the way I think, and my friends (since they all live in the same situation I do -quite isolated-) it's very different to the "normal" youths here; it's also because of that, that we critizase, but do not get involve in the things like very deeply... I mean a grouo and so; since they always end up using violence for what they want, and that doesn't go with us, well at least with me :D

I know a lot of people who just don't care... I am glad that many are at least thinking and talking about social issues. I never really lived inside of a bubble....*went through a war and all* so I can generaly get really worked up about social issues... but I am calm now :lol: :lol: :D :D :D
