Actually no. Even if you live in a Bundesland (something like a state in the USA) in which you don't have to pay directly for the college they force you to pay a "social fee" which is de facto a regular college fee..
I mean hey, there's red light districts, so why not red light schools (academies), eh?
I feel like I've seen this done a few times before, but I'm interested to see where this one goes.
