It probably costs more than that.
As a baseline, university education in Finland costs about €10k/year on the average. Medical education is more expensive than the average, probably between €15k and €20k a year. Universities in the US are generally better funded than those in Finland, which allows them to provide more personal attention to the students. And university salaries are higher in the US than in Finland.
Overall, I would estimate something like $20k/year for the undergraduate degree and $30k to $40k/year for the medical school, for a total of $200k to $240k. And that's just for the education, not including costs of living as a student.
- HEmanZ 3y agoSounds great, but my wife’s state-funded public medical school cost $85k/yr usd before cost of living. There are a handful of state medical schools near the $40k/r, but they are on the much cheaper end
- jltsiren 3y agoI was estimating the costs of providing the education, not the prices of getting it. (The latter would be €0/year in Finland.) If a university can charge more, it can usually find a way to spend the extra money.
