Blog #5: College Education Cost Around the World

Summary:

This article is about the college tuition on the global scale.  There are over 15 counties that are studied including the United States.  In America student debt has hit a staggering 1 billion dollars in student debt.  In other countries such as Quebec, they are demanding no raises in tuition fees.  There is also a huge difference in the amour it cost for the education at the collegiate level.  In Norway it is only 600 dollars to attend a school at the collegiate level and is the lowest price to attend.  The United States is at the top of the list with an average of over 14,000 dollars for public schools.  Even though it is the most expensive by over 8,000 dollars, it has 51 out of the top 100 schools in the world.  Education is better in the United States, but the price makes it hard for student from other parts of the world.

Analysis:

After reading this article I was extremely surprised to see what was going on around the world with college tuition.  I knew that the United States has always been one of the most expensive countries to go to school, but I didn't know that it was 9,000 more dollars than another country in the world.  All the other countries in the world had a much lower tuition rate, but also has a lower education.  In Mexico I had no ides that they had universities, and it also not expensive to attend.  The only problem is that they didn't have any schools in the top 100.  The more expensive it is to attend universities, the better education you are going to receive.
