One of the main reasons I will be strongly encouaging (read: insisting) my fortunately-dual-national kids to avoid university in the USA. It was staggeringly expensive when I went to US college in the 90s. Now it beggars belief.
We moved back to NZ when my eldest hit high school, here college is much cheaper with interest free loans so long as you stay in the country and pay them off as required (or are in school), we used a small portion of what we made from selling our Bay Area home to pay off our kid's loans free and clear when they were done - best decision we ever made
Not only that, some of us worked our asses off to give our kids a non-US nationality so this would be an option for them.
The EU has plenty of problems (and funny enough, I really, really miss junior colleges; they're great!) but the day my daughter's EU passport arrived I felt a huge sense of relief.
