(The Dream)
Free
colleges everywhere in the world
We
all have the dream to have free colleges everywhere in the world.
Unfortunately, that’s not the case everywhere. There are however
certain countries in the world where the taxpayer pays the bill for all
students looking to get a college degree. The countries in this list are
mainly in Europe and have cultures that “take care of each other”. These
socialist countries usually have higher income tax rates, but it’s well worth
it if you’d like to have health care and college tuition all paid and taken
care of. Ask yourself this question before moving to one of these
countries, is free college important to you? If it is, then this list
starting below is all for you:

Tuition-Free Colleges
Do
tuition-free colleges actually exist? Yes. The words “free” and “college
tuition” are normally not found in the same sentence, however, students looking
for a college or even an Ivy League education with the option of either free
tuition or other financial assistance can start their journey reviewing this
informative article for some of the best colleges and universities offering
this unique opportunity.
Over
the last 30 years, tuition has increased 1,120 percent and according to a
recent article in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), college tuition has risen
three times as fast as the consumer-price index and twice as fast as medical
care in the past decade.
The
following information gives a brief glimpse at recent average tuition costs and
fees:
The
College Board reports the 2013–14 tuition and fees:
•
Public, four-year, in-state students: 8,350.23€
•
Public, four-year, out-of-state students: 20,847.89€
•
Private, nonprofit, four-year: 28,257.28€
•
For-profit schools: 14,206.57€
In
addition to the rising cost of tuition, student debt is also a growing problem.

The

state colleges but also Ivy League universities as well. Ivy League schools are

education can actually be affordable.
Many
