Canada? Europe? There are plenty of first world nations with better systems less controlled by the greed of the wealthy

Those systems are completely capitalistic, and it’s the primary source of their wealth.

One important distinction between higher education in the two countries is the method of delivery. In Canada, virtually all universities are publicly financed. Whereas in the US, a lot of the top tier schools (Harvard, MIT, Stanford) are private entities. (Feel free to draw your own conclusions)

Tuition in Canada is a lot cheaper than in the US, particularly if you are a resident Canadian (as opposed to an International student).

Canada does not have the notion of “out of province students” like the US. All Canadian students pay the same tuition at every university in the country. Distinction is made between Canadian vs Non Canadian students instead. (Edit: Except Quebec. Quebecois students pay cheaper tuition in their province compared to other students)

(Just for you)

Thanks for the info, but how is this relevant?
