Did the cost match when you add the school debt, a thing that in general does not exist in EU?

Did you use PPP to evaluate value?

School debt amounts to very little. Most Americans have no student loans. For the people who do, the median debt is $25,000, which is less than the average American new car loan. Even for recent graduates, 1/3 have no student loans and the average loan is $30,000. And the government limits repayment to 10% of disposable income.
