How does tuition work for foreign students in countries where education is free for citizens?
Sorry to ask this here, but I thought maybe someone around this section would know something and I haven't succeeded in getting any answers anywhere else. I'm a bit confused and hoping someone can help me... basically, I'm a student in the US and I am starting to consider grad school options and I'm looking at universities in Latin America, namely, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba in Argentina. But I'm confused... apparently tuition is free for citizens of Argentina, but I can't figure out how to find out how much it is for foreigners.... how does international tuition generally work in countries where public unis are funded by the government? Is it also free for eligible foreigners (o_O)? This obviously isn't something I'm expecting, it's just that I've been able to find no information about money. I've scoured the UNdC website (and mind you, it's in Spanish, but that's not the problem here, I speak it well) and I haven't succeeded in finding anything... is non-resident tuition generally high (or higher than in the US) in Latin America? thanks in advance (also...keep your unhelpful paranoia about Argentina being "socialist" away, I'm just asking a pretty simple question) I do not care about Kenya or Harvard Law School or the "illegitimate" president. I asked a question about university in Argentina. Then again, I DID post it in politics so what should I expect.

I am more concerned with how a foreign student from Kenya manages to get into Harvard Law school for free, then illegitimately become President of the United States. I think Soros must have pulled some strings.

The university will set a fee for foreign students that you will be expected to pay from your own funds. Foreign students are not particularly common in Latin America (most international students go to Europe or North America) and there may be different fees for different degree programmes - obviously a course like physics is going to cost them more to run than a course like English, so you will probably have to email the university directly to find out what their fees are for international students and for the course you are interested in.. I would imagine fees will be cheaper than they are at American universities, but you will have to check with individual universities for exact amounts.
