I'm not from the US (Canada), so it sometimes confuses me when people talk about the cost of college. Doesn't the US have public universities? Are they super expensive too?

Just the books are expensive in the USA but inexpensive in the rest of the world.

Tuition has gone up even in public schools. Unless the student finds a good paying job after graduation they will struggle with student loan payments.
