Astronomical library fines, really? I never heard of library fines that were more than a few dozen of euros for student. Well I guess that is yet another advantage of being in France that I didn't even knew I had :-).

But no I did meant student status, which means most museums are free for instance, and discounts for many things such as public transportations, movie theaters, etc.

On my undergrad budget, 142EUR was astronomical. That was my food budget for over a month. Ah, the penniless days of yore.

Ok, yes that's quite big. I was speaking more about something between 20 and 40€, which are part of the 100 to 200€ yearly tuition fees.
