Tuition in Canada is subsidised by the provincial government for citizens. The cost is also regulated by the provincial government. Those two amounts differ from province to province. For instance, in Alberta when UCP clawed it’s way back into power, they decided to cut funding to post secondary, and imposed tuition caps that prevented cost recovery. Our university had to lay off hundreds of people, and we’re still not operating within 80% full staff.
A student at full course load can expect to pay about $10K per year, depending on the university, if they are a citizen. Otherwise, foreign students on a visa will be in the $25k-35k bracket. UofA specifically quotes about $33k. I can’t speak on what tuition in the states looks like, but I’ve heard numbers much closer to the latter example with more frequency.
Tbf to Harvard and the other ivy leagues, as of when I applied a couple years ago (did not get in lmao), my tuition would’ve been $0. I don’t know how much they actually charge, but they do have an above average scholarship program, at least for those coming from the “lower” class.
I’m not saying it’s a good school or anything, I really have no idea. That just kinda stuck with me, it seemed really cool.
Not Canada. Tuition in Canada is as expensive as comparable schools in the US. We just don’t really have the ultra expensive tier like Harvard.

True for university but colleges have pretty good incentives and reasonable costs, also we have high quality colleges imo

It was pretty cheap when I was paying it.
