Ok, a bit more precise: Of the 23 countries listed [1] on this site, all of them have tuition fees which are much lower than the US. A first sight shows Latvia as highest with up to 9900 EUR per academic year. Europe has 44 sovereign states. You are correct, it's not "all" and "Europe" in general. But the sentiment (and the main difference) vs. US is visible and my point stands: "free" education is possible. [1] https://www.studyineurope.eu/tuition-fees https://www.studyineurope.eu/tuition-fees
