6:26 I hate that our government started charging foreign citizens that's not from the EEA/EU... It used to be essentially free for *everyone* (a token fee of like 30$ a year or something for universities). Of course living expenses and requirements of proof of founding of said living expenses, as well as study materials and excursions comes on top and can be expensive...
I can understand it to some extent. Those courses still cost the state money and that money comes from residents' taxes. And there's a lot of money to be made charging foreigners higher fees, which can benefit locals too. I personally think it's fair to expect internationals to pay something, but I'd like to see more solutions for that. Like maybe some kind of "pay after you graduate" scheme or state-sponsored loans to help out and encourage them to stay after and work it off.
@@score-yourcollegecounselor I disagree, in Germany they did a study of this, and apparently free education for foreigners earns Germany more money then it costs as long as at least 1/6 (I think, I might remember wrong) of the students stay and work there, paying taxes, creating jobs, developing technologies etc. Norway is a higher cost country, but even so, we should break even if a certain percentage of the students stay. And indeed profit if more do. Of course you could argue that it's unethical, that you're causing brain drain when doing so. But when looking at real economics (as opposed to the nonsense populists throw around) it's a benefit for a country to offer free education regardless of citizenship. Of course, this could be racism too...
I've looked at those studies too and it's true that if they stay, it pays off long-term. I've seen estimates that say 25-30% are needed but I'm sure it can vary by country. It's an investment, essentially. The issue is when people just get their free education and then leave. Maybe some kind of program that forces them to pay only if they don't stay and work a few years could be good. But I do agree that free education is a net positive overall and I'd love to see more efforts made in the US to combat high prices. It's tragic how even a local has to spend around $20k a year on the cheap end just to go to a decent university while living at home.
I used to watch a ton of your content a year back. I scored a 780 math. Remember I offered to tutor your math classes. Haha Im still up for it next year when im in college.
Love to see you still stopping by! And yes I do remember that offer Malik. Honestly we haven't had a ton of SAT demand these days although that might start changing as more Ivies switch back to requiring tests. We'll have to see how it goes. But I appreciate the support

Compulsion isn't required...
And quite frankly more then enough people stayed to make up for the costs...

I like that idea! I might just get to work on that :)
