For comparison purposes, tuition fees in a French public engineering school were around 700€/$800 per year when I was there about a decade ago, and I wouldn't expect this to have changed much.

This is without considering students whose parents have low revenue, thus getting access to financial help from the government. This was my case. Technically, I was paid to go to University, with 3600€ per year for being one of the top students.

For more comparison, tuition feeds at my alma mater (a German university) were 500€ per year. Most of that was for the semester ticket, that allowed me to use public transit completely for free across the entire state (Saxony).

2012-2015 was still 700€/year at Centrale - I'll let you guess which one.

Don't forget though that housing, food, "Sécurité Sociale", library, etc. weren't included.

Yes but food and housing is not included either when attending a private school.

Not sure about France, but in the Netherlands now it's 2000 euros. Though I believe people are trying to lower that again.

For comparison purposes, tuition fees in a French university were around 0$

And if you're the best of the best, they pay you to attend (X, ENS)

[palunon]

No they don't. The chaussette has to be repaid...

[sacado2]

In the University where I teach, fees are below €500 a year, AFAIK.
