But be aware this is all seen from a students perspective so I can't/won't touch wages and paid holidays.
I can't deny that this makes my comparison kind of useless
Europe:
-good food for less money (if I eat in the dining hall, I have to buy good food for about 10€/week(cheese,bread,butter,juice,yoguhrt))
-clothes and electronics is way more expensive
-dining out seems more expensive to me
-education is for free in most countries !!
USA:
-electronics is really cheap
-clothes are ULTRA cheap (not to mention that it is assembled in China/India anyways)
-good food in the supermarket is expensive (little piece of French cheese costs me 5 $)
-dining out is (not only the fast food stuff) seems to be less expensive to me.
-education is expensive
well I don't know, I think there is a balance but for a free education you better stay in Europe
yes... and also please add that going to the doctor's is also free and so it hospitalisation in most european countries.
