- silvestrov 4y agoself-reply: There are a couple of main differences between universities in USA and Denmark that drives the high cost: a) Universities in Denmark have no sports teams, facilities or similar. Sport is something you do in your spare time in facilities that the city provides and you do sport with people doing all kinds of other education. b) Universities have no dorms (there is a single exception to this). Dorms are independent "self-owned companies" which houses students from many different schools/unis. c) No real prestige in impressive buildings. Students don't choose uni by how impressive buildings etc are. As the state pays for the education, it has a huge incentive to keep costs low.
- respondo2134 4y agoCanadian universities have all of these. The state pays a big component of their cost with students paying tuition about on par with the numbers quoted above. This seems reasonable; I don't think anyone regardless of program should get it for free.
