Nah
She just doesn’t want to see your D
Drop it
Also you can get higher education for free in Europe (except the UK). Stop thinking that the US is the centre of the world.
Why do you assume that I am from US or I care about it? Is my English so good? I am from Europe. Yeah, higher education is free but living in a large city is not. In practice, only rich parents' kids can afford to focus on a higher education.
That's BS, at least here in Germany we have a system called "Bafög" where kids whose parents don't earn enough to support them through University get a pretty decent monthly stipend. So anyone who wants to get higher education has the opportunity to do so.
do you have a slightest idea that not everyone is from germany and have a “Bafög”??? that there are countries where the education is 'free' only theoretically?
but maybe "that's BS", maybe i am wrong and the rest of the world is exactly like germany
wow such an ignorance and belief that "you can do what you dream of" is beyond my fucking comprehension
