4 university degrees is likely cheaper than one year at a higher end private school in the US!

Well, you have to pay your other life expenses during that period.

If you don't work and spend 30k on rent, food, utilities, etc., then you get 30k deeper into debt every year. Even if there's no tuition.

I don't know how you made that happen but my cost of living expenses while in college never exceeded $10kCAD a year

Why would you compare a public Canadian university to a private US college?

Why not compare public to public?

Statement still stands, public to public in many areas the US is going to cost much more (up to 3X). It just gets REALLY gross when you bring in the private schools.

Also, Canadians typically continue to live with their parents for undergrad university. They don't migrate as much as US students do.

Your article actually says it ranges from 1.5x as expensive (so very similar) to 4.5x for the cheapest Canadian schools.
