Many nations in Europe and South America offer free or nearly free degree programs--and advanced degree programs-- that are taught in English. Germany, Finland, France, Sweden, Norway, Solvenia, and Brazil are current examples. Americans can attend and earn degrees there without speaking host nation languages for many degrees or courses. Even without tuition, costs of living can be high, but still may be a better bargain for some degree seekers....maybe universal service is the way to help pay for education--give your country a few years of service not necessarily in the military, you get most of your tuition paid....

My son is very smart and my ex and I lucked out with him. He had a full-ride scholarship for his community college and then when he transferred to the four-year he took out student loans. He worked throughout school at Starbucks and he graduated last May, on-time with his degree. He now works for Sears Corporate in Chicago. I am still paying college loans off from my degree due to the high interest. I wish I could refi my student loans. I think there should be allowances for that. I don't think tuition should be totally free, but there also needs to be a cap on what universities and colleges are charging too. It's ridiculous.
