No, specially vs €1k/yr which is what I paid. Just the electronics software related licenses I had access to with Cadence and Xillinx would be over €10k per MONTH.
not really, especially when you add them all up and hardware to run them on. Sure, you can find some cheaper open-source alternatives for some things, but the lack of exposure to the more commercially available ones can be difficult to overcome.
That stuff is actually pretty cheap when compared to tuition, no?
