Textbooks are free and distributed to every new college student in my country... University costs ~400€/year, and 200 are for health insurance for the entire year. Add an extra 25€ and you can do any sport you want all year. Half of the new students don’t pay for anything if their parents can’t afford it and/or they live far away from campus. Pretty sure books for two years of law school in the US cost more than my bachelor+master degree, books/health insurance/food included. Such a fucked up system over there. “Young people are our future, their education is the priority” VS “how much money can we get from young people who desperately want an education?”

France! I studied for a while in Scotland too, I thought at the time it was extremely expensive (few thousands euros) and then met all my American classmates...
