I would love to only be paying that much. I once met a man from Cork who was studying in France to get his Graduate Degree in Chemical Engineering (same degree that I'm in undergrad for), and I swear his education in Europe seemed more complete and in-depth than mine, for a much lower price.

Yeah, I suppose it is admittedly much, much cheaper than studying in the US (assuming that's where you're from, BE). It still pisses me off, though, because education is so cheap in other European countries - my French friends say they paid essentially nothing for their undergrads. One paid €15 in fees this year.

That, and the fact that fees only hurt the people who need them least.
