I'm a 22 year old university student in Sweden (starting my 2nd year now) and I find it hard to imagine life with school costing a fortune like this.
Sure I, and most students in Sweden, take loans to pay for food, rent and books but the school itself is free - even now! We're also getting a good low rent loan with a part allowance. No wonder we're having so many foreign students. That's going to change from next year though when the foreigners will get charged.

I might be studying the same but I surely would work harder, both in school and during the summer. On a related note things like medical care and laws sometimes makes me feel the same.
