For the US thats true, as a german who can basically study for free at any of the "elite" Universities in the country (same for scandinavia, netherlands etc) the whole higher ed concept in the US seems borderline scam to me anyway.
- fwn 9y ago...not implying that you meant otherwise, but: The German "elite" label does not mean anything at all. It's basically a government program to allocate (a small amount of) additional funds decorated with a fancy term. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Universities_Excellence_Initiative https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Universities_Excellence...
- kayoone 9y agoWell yes, but all of them are among the most highly regarded Universities in the country, while there are others without the label that are equally good. I just wanted to emphasise that the quality you can get for "free" is really good.
