Can anyone explain to me why tuitition fee in the Netherlands is so much cheaper?


Can anyone explain to me why tuitition fee in the Netherlands is so much cheaper?
Tuition fee in the Netherlands for "hogeschool" (equivalent to university here) only costs more than a thousand euros per year. They have much better computers and newer equipement! Also, if you are studying in programs like biochemistry, the school will try and match you up with an internship!!! I'm in Canada, and the tuitition costs $5400 Cdn per year! Why is it SO much more expensive here??? The school doesnt find me internships, doesnt have laptops for rent at 2euro/hr, much of the equipement is getting old!! Also, government aid for students in the Netherlands is much better! Why is it so bad here compared to them???

Value of money is always cheaper depending on the countries and their economy and conditions. India is cheap for labour but now they pay very high equal to US. Just depends on the way the companies are doing in regard to business
2 :
Because the Netherlands is a socialist state where people don't get to choose where their money goes. They trade their freedom for ignorance and the schools end up being cheaper. They trade their free market for a regulated market, which is why the economy isn't so great over there. They've traded their individual liberties and prosperity and admitted that a little intellectual elite in some far distant capital and plan their lives for them, better than they can plan them themselves.
3 :
The Netherlands is one of the richest countries in the World. Each person makes on average $40,571.00 USD per year and in Canada the average is only $38,951 USD per year. They work harder too. In the Netherlands they make $32.54 USD per hour worked and in Canada they only make $27.90 USD per hour worked. Inflation is EXTREMELY LOW at 1.3% (2006) against Canada's 2% Unemployment is EXTREMELY LOW at 3.8% (2006) against Canada's 6%

Netherlands, Sweden, OR Denmark for Student Exchange (please help, 10 pts)?


Netherlands, Sweden, OR Denmark for Student Exchange (please help, 10 pts)?
Can't decide, and need to decide soon. Netherlands - Amsterdam Uni Denmark - Aarhus Uni Sweden - Lund Uni I'm from Canada, and would've loved to go to England, but I felt like I needed to go experience somewhere a bit more different. Where would you pick based on: * Nightlife / Social Life / Friendliness of the people * Costs * Quality of school (IF you know) THANKS

I'd delete nightlife if I were you. Women get raped and killed in Europe these days you know. All of those cities are equally bad when it comes to safety. But still, Lund should be the best choise. It's not good. But it's the best.

Are People to People student ambassador programs good or bad?

Are People to People student ambassador programs good or bad?
I have the opportunity to go to Ireland, England, Wales, the Netherlands, and Belgium with the People to People student ambassador program. I have heard a lot of really good things about this and a few bad things. I just want to get some opinions from other people that aren't trying to sell this opportunity to me. One bad thing is that it is really expensive, but if it is worth it that's not a problem. So if you know anything about it, what do you think of these programs?
