Tuition in Norway is $80 USD/semester, as one data point. Are state funded US universities cheaper than this?
(You also pay a couple of cents if you want to print documents, but these are the only fees I have paid in six years of University).
- cwaniak2 13y agoI'm sure in Saudi Arabia it's cheaper than that, or free. That's the thing with oil-rich countries. Saying let's have stuff "for free" because it works in Norway with a few million citizens and abundant resources makes exactly as much sense as saying do it because Saudi Arabia does it. More people live in New York suburban area or LA suburban area than in Norway. We can't live off oil and gas reserves, ok? Socialism in resourceful country might seem to make sense. Monarchy (Saudi Arabia is a monarchy) might seem as plausible and fantastic system just because Saudi Arabians have free stuff. But I wouldn't claim US needs to be a monarchy. This is quite weird this whole leftist argumentation here.
