The Sorbonne

Pat:  My guidance counselor says that tuition at the Sorbonne in Paris, France, costs each student less than two hundred euros a year.

Mike: The Sorbonne is subsidized by the rich French nation. We could never afford to do that in California. We just scrape by, dude. We don't have the tax dollars.

Pat: We might raise taxes.

Mike:  Right-- tax oil companies the way they do in Texas? They'll move to Kansas, man, and frack for oil there.

Pat: Anyway, the Sorbonne is located in the Latin Quarter. How fluent are you in Latin?

Mike: Not at all. We might apply as a safety school, but I'm telling you the Sorbonne ranks near the bottom when it comes to beer busts and cheese whoppers. We'd better hope we get into Pepperdine.

Pat: Hey, At Pepperdine you can see the beach from the campus, almost.
