Where I live, education is free and quality is strictly controlled by the governement. It's a bit rigid and not perfect, but overall I think it works pretty well. For that reason, we are usually quite suspicious of private alternatives. It's not only universities, even sport clubs are often non-commercial structures and instructors are required to have official certifications. Americans have a different mindset, they are more business-oriented, for the better and the worse.
