Massive student debt is mostly US phenomenon. In other countries you can get decent education without going deep in debt. Large employers however, especially in software development, are global companies and they hire globally. Don't you think a global school is a viable option?

Just for a little more context: grants & financial aid have mostly kept up with tuition increases in the US. The sticker price is certainly high but only upper-middle class & beyond pay that. College is effectively a progressive tax on the wealthy. https://bit.ly/2NNR2Ec

Where “wealthy” = middle class

Another way to view it: Europe decided to not pay the housing & book costs for college students from poor families—America did. Not sure which one is ethically sound.
