Expensive? Yes, but at least we have it.

I just wanted to do a quick follow-up post about how outrageously expensive college has become. I checked out how other countries’ tuitions compare to that in the United States and we for the most part face the worst costs. In most European Union states, there is a fixed low rate for domestic students to any university. Here are a few examples: England £3,000, Ireland €900, France €165, Germany €1,000 and Australia 15,000 AUD. All in all college in America is extremely expensive but it’s important that we note that all this data covers highly industrialized and developed states. In many countries around the world, college is a privilege reserved for the wealthy elite with few others ever even having a chance to step onto a campus. Nonetheless, for a country as advanced as the USA, these kinds of costs are a discrepancy that must be addressed.
