When I was at Michigan State, we had an exchange program with Kaiserslaughtern University in Germany. I ended up living with several German students from Kaiserslaughtern, as part of the exchange program they paid their regular German tuition, so they were going to MSU for Grad School (mostly physics or particle physics) for like $500 a semester. But the MSU students who were studying in Germany would pay their regular MSU tuition to go to school at Kaiserslaughtern.

College could be free, it's a matter of setting the country's priorities to value higher education.
