European universities are cheap because they are government subsidized. The US has state schools that, once upon a time, were partially subsidized and cheaper, but not quite free. State governments have stopped giving money to these universities forcing them to raise tuition. This is a political decision, is what the voters want, even though it might not be in their best interest. It would be nice to have low cost universities in the US but is not going to happen in the near future.

And that is without scholarships. A full four years at that price is about one year at the original article's cost at RIT. Not free, but not outrageous.
