Perhaps we should send more kids to Europe for schooling to see how a civil society lives, then bring them back after graduating to fix the problems with America. win/win :)

Oh man. 30-100€ per semester and not literally 0€ per semester? I feel so misled and cheated by that clickbait title. Do people have no shame?
But it includes a public transit pass as well :)
The best part of course, is the lame/insane rules they come up with to determine if your instate or out of state. Mostly because in the US just having a utility bill from a rental or what not is enough to transfer a drivers license/residency. Amusingly enough, most of these states actually require in state vehicle registrations for said students in order to get the tax money...
"To cover rent, mandatory health insurance and other expenses, Hunter's mother sends him between $6,000-7,000 each year." That's actually a little bit low for Munich. I think two or three times that would be more realistic to cover living expenses.

Europeans have their own sets of problems ,believe me, don't paint everything all black or all white. Granted almost free education is something great.
Yes, and arguably 50 different sets of problems.
To spare people the click after that dumb clickbait title: Germany only requires tuition fees of ~30-100€ per semester* from any student, regardless country of origin. * For administrative stuff and often includes public transit tickets.

So the education is free, you're just paying for some of the services (transportation, meals, housing, etc.) around it.

As an anecdote, i live on €6000 in Munich. It's definitely the minimum, but possible when living in university accommodation & and cooking your own food.
Impressive :-) Actually I started out with 500€/month in Munich, but that was 22 years ago. And I ended up doing side jobs. Prices must have gotten up since then.
