You said that $44,000 was too much to pay for public school.
I corrected you by saying my school costs $6,000 a year in US funds. (the 44 figure was for everything a student needs for a span of 4 years.)
The point of posting the report was to show that our school system is just as competitive as US schools, as ranked by americans.
Those were my only points. Argue as much as you want about how great your private schools are, but this is how your system is ranked my this report.
Also i have seen other reports with similar results. This is all that is available...if you don't agree with it, it is too bad as you seem to be an expert on internaltional institutions and the quality of their programs.
ugh, I never argued about the competitiveness of Canadian schools. I believe they're on par with the US. Stop being so defensive. I don't even know why you're so offended, I just said $44k for public schools in the US may possibly be pretty expensive. Fine then, here's an EU commissioned study of worldwide academic institutions.
how north american universities rank
$44,000 over 4 years, is $11k a year. $11k for tuition, books and room and board is cheap.
You brought up CalTech, the tution alone is $25k per year. Thats $100k in tuition alone. Add in other expenses like room and board, its going to be over $125k for 4 years. Counting all expenses the typical cost of going to a public uni for 4 years is typically $40-50k depending on state. All expenses at a private uni for 4 years is going to be upwards of $150k. Now how much someone pays in total is dependent on the aid they get
Now private universities have huge endowments, and alot of people pay alot less because of that.
