"St.___". I joke he that he is "the patron saint of the affluently afflicted".<br /><br />I wonder about value. I know of a few graduates there who attend the same public university as my daughter, who went to public high school.<br /><br />Do the students really receive $40,000 worth of education each year? Or is the investment in connections to the powerful and privileged?Ninabinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-8532782738382333142012-01-31T15:06:08.301-06:002012-01-31T15:06:08.301-06:00I should probably have included that it is a board...I should probably have included that it is a boarding school.Amdonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-21000465022508448932012-01-31T14:30:47.880-06:002012-01-31T14:30:47.880-06:00My graduation school tuition was USD600/yr ($300 o...My graduation school tuition was USD600/yr ($300 one year when I got a partial scholarship).

In 2007, for a year in senior high school (the same private "lycée" from 15 to 18), it cost 580.10 euros, meals not included. <br />Now my elder son is in his 6th year at university : 476.57 € (for the whole year) and the youngest in his first : 181.57. The difference between the two is the social sécurity which is no longer free after 20 years old.<br /><br />I've always wondered why young americans didn't come to France to study ?Dominiquenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-52068355732691967282012-01-31T12:57:52.405-06:002012-01-31T12:57:52.405-06:00When I graduated ('95) my high school tuition ...When I graduated ('95) my high school tuition was around $20k.
