Especially for prestige. And there isn't a way to make this cheaper as the exclusivity is part of it. I quite like the German system here, there isn't a large prestige difference between universities. Of course there are some that have a better reputation for some topics, but it's not so much that it would seriously affect your chances to get hired later. You can get a pretty good education for free, and there isn't as much effort and drama around applying for universities like in the US.
