Cost For Higher Education

9 Studying terms

This glossary lists several words of vocabulary about the cost of studying for higher education. It talks about how much students have to pay for their studies at university. It aims to help me to learn more vocabulary and to better understand in French the words, verbs and expressions from English. My teacher of improvement lessons asks the class to create this type of glossary and to add new words of vocabulary each week.
