    Same. Born in Belgium and I had to pay less than 1000 € for a full academic year at the University. The quality of education is good. I got a decent job, correctly paid. I did not had any debt when I started my career. What more did you get in the USA ? I would be depressed as hell to be in the shoes of that guy who claimed above that he paid only the interests of his student debt, after ten years of reimbursement.

      Funny you think the higher price tag gets us anything more. I spent 60k to get my degree, and graduated into a recession where I couldn’t get a job flipping burgers. I’ve been on income-based payments for my student loans ever since and have never paid even the full amount of interest for one period because of my income. So now I owe 10k more than I graduated with, and km homeless and unemployed cause I’m overqualified for anything entry and don’t have the experience for things that need a degree. Yay for the American dream.
