What most students don't realize is that education is Europe is heavily subsidized. What are the fees for international students? That gives a more accurate picture of the cost.
Of course it is heavily subsidized. Everyone knows that all our education is paid through taxes.
And that is how it should be. Because it makes a better society for all. More highly educated people gives more productivity and prosperity for all. That it isn't your parent's wealth that decides what school you can go to decreases inequality and we get less people that feel that they never got a chance in life.
Atleast in Germany it is free for international students in many states. In some states where it is not completely free for international students, the fees is still pretty low.
