Topic discussed: American vs Austrian University 

Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned: Sara had a big exam this week that she was extremely stressed over which has us talking about university. She told me how shocked she was when she found out how much I paid for attending FSU as a Floridian and even more shocked when I told her how much non-Florida residents have to pay. I told her that that was just considering a public university and we looked online to see how much private American university tutions compared. This was all shoking to her because university in Austria is free. One that she did mention however that though it is free, the university experience that she receives back home is nothing compared to that the she had at FSU. She said that even though FSU can be extremely expensive especially to her, there are so many free activities and programs that the school offers that Austrian universities do not. She mentioned the student life center and the free movies she saw and all the events that were held and she attended she remembered being so surprised that there was so much to do. In Austria, though university is free, the extracurricular activities are seldom and not nearly as much as FSU offers.
