Oh and about 100€ or so for paper, a geologists hammer and compass. And that university is not one of the worst at all. In fact it has gotten an "excellency award". For the last 5 years though, there is an (in the eyes of students outrageously high) tuition of 500€ per semester, but that is crumbling again.
Maybe this is "socialist" or "communist", but I think it is a very fair and good thing to give all students - poor or rich - the opportunity to study whatever they want without loading themselves in debt.
Oh and its not even just working people, students, soldiers,... its the elders as well:

You're thinking of socialism, we've covered communism and why it doesn't work.
