College education in different countries

Yes, but it goes towards bus/train fare, some school supplies ie books or what not, and boarding. Also it depends if you are a citizen or prove that you are not leaching off the government.

(other guest here) yeah, in Germany I pay ~250€ (about 285$) per semester for uni, bus & train ticket, free book borrowing from the library etc. (the food in the canteen costs extra but it's cheap)

p.s. can anyone tell me if the american government has thought of any changes in your education system? can't imagine to start a job with 500.000$ in depth

Actually in germany its different from one federal state to another, there are various different regulations, many of them subject to change because of running law suits. Some only charge you for studying longer than average or for a 2nd study. Most fees include public transport and other advantages.

As a European citizen, I'm happy that my tax money is going toward things like education and healthcare for everyone. I'd rather pay more so that some poor kid can go to university or that a single mother of 4 won't have to worry much about doctor's bills. These programs give people opportunities and support that they wouldn't have had otherwise, and I think that many Americans would agree with me that the benefits outweigh the costs.

Maddy after the feds ,state, health, social security, come out of your check what% are u at . Then add a tuition payment, where do we stand on overall %. it wouldnt be so bad but the interest on these loans are bs, you becoming a smarter citizen would in turn make a smarter civilization you should just have to pay the principal with no interest on education loans

Maddy, it's not like people who make $10,000 a year pay 4,000 of it to taxes. It's like in America, and it starts off at what, 10%? And goes up to 49,9% I think. But only those who earn a lot pay high taxes. And in Norway at least, we earn quite a lot more than you do in America, so we're actually still left with more. And you'd be surprised as to how much tax Americans actually pay. It's not bad to pay taxes when it enables you to have a paid maternity leave for one full year, free school for as long as you'd like (yes, even a double phd is free) and you don't have to pay thousands of dollars for a trip to the doctor.

It is totally possible to work your ass off and finish college with no debt. Sorry guys but life requires work. Grow up.

Lmao

Well, countries that are underdeveloped usually copy similar systems that well developed countries have to make progress. Or which ever underdeveloped country backed/colonialism by a developed country.
