With the average recent college graduate leaving campus with a diploma and$30,000 in debt, it’s no surprise that would-be-students are looking for ways to get an education without taking on such a financial burden. While they could opt to live in certain cities or states, or go to work for any of a number of the companies offering free schooling, many are moving… to Europe.
CNN Money reports that the lure of free or deeply discounted tuition is enough for thousands of students to cross the pond each year to make their dreams of a higher education a reality.
While tuition in the U.S. can range from $9,000 to $32,000 each, the price tag in Europe is much less, with many programs charging under $2,500 or no more than $9,000 each year, according to college advising service Beyond the States.
But that cost might even be on the high side, CNN reports, as there are at least 44 schools in Europe that don’t charge anything for students to obtain a bachelor’s degree.

ReplyDeleteOne factor for the much lower cost of college in Europe is that professors and administrators are paid a sensible salary. Administrators and professors at American colleges are several time higher than their European counterparts. With golden parachute, bonuses, free housing and autos and expense accounts American professors can cost taxpayers millions per year.
ReplyDeleteThe University of Maryland Baltimore Campus is a perfect example.

ReplyDeleteLet the snowflakes thugs work there way to syria chop chop.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a much higher level of education,a real world learning experience and...no propaganda BS!
ReplyDeleteSorry, but it's a business decision on the part of the student. I'm sure their biggest hurdle is being qualified for freshman year after being a product of our failed high school educations, and then if they get in, keeping up with the advanced courses that are well beyond what is offered here.
ReplyDeleteWinning that, they will be able to to land a world class job first day out instead of what the USA has to offer college grads.
Good luck, and Godspeed! GO for it!
