[can.politics] "Free" Education

Actually, it should be noted that for many, education IS free.  None of the
best (by academic standards) have to pay tuition fees.  Certainly not at
grad school.  I have heard that at Stanford, there are more scholarships
then there are students in most of the programs.  Ie. if you are good enough
to make it there, your fees are not a problem.

Now I realize there is more to pay than fees, but that's another level
of the problem.

Mind you, I agree with the suggestion that there always be some fee.
An education that doesn't teach you there is no free lunch isn't much of
an education.
