But we still have living expenses in the US too, on top of the outrageous tuition costs. My bachelor's degree cost $58,000 but during those 4 years I also worked two jobs just to pay for rent and food and keep my car working. I've been out of college for over 10 years btw and still owe $40k in student loans.
