I’ve only seen this for students of universities and all kinds of schools here in Europe.

Although school students only get a ticket for their way from school to home, and university students get a ticket that allows them to get anywhere in their region for free.

The same type of arrangement is also common in North America, though many students who live off-campus, or in suburbs resent having to subsidize the city dwellers (as the programs are usually mandatory).

Well, this is Europe – so, at least in Germany, 95% live off-campus, and many in suburbs. But due to being Europe, busses every 15min are usual even in the farthest suburbs.
