You pay about 500-1000 EUR for a public college in Belgium and you can even apply for a scholarship which will pay it all for you. But once you run out of credits (every student starts with credits and has to spend them to get new classes and will receive them back once they graduate the same year in that class, fail the class and you have to do it again and lose the credits iirc.) I don't know a single person in Belgium that has student debts.

-The Norwegian system is similar, in that tuition itself is free; however, being as sparsely populated as we are, most students have to leave home in order to obtain higher education - and a significant part of those living close enough to a site of higher learning move out from their parents anyway - it is kind of, sort of expected that you'll try to live on your own once you graduate from our high school equivalent (at age 19) So - most of your student loan is used to cover a roof over your head and food in your belly. (Oh, and beer.)
