In countries where higher education is free, it’s either much cheaper per student, or a way lower fraction of the population goes, or both.

Europe can afford free education because it isn’t American-style education.

My sentiment was that most students will probably gladly take this very stringent option over what we have now. I surely would have.

I would too! I just think it’s important to understand that “free college” is only half the story and to recognize maturely that you’re making tradeoffs.
