Where in Europe is it free to go to college? I read that Czech University was free and Italian University is almost free if you go to national University:

체코랑 이탈리아 미국 을 생각중입니다
체코는 학비가 무료라서 생활비만 걱정하면되는데,,
체코어배우기가 너무어렵네요 국내에선 가르치는곳도 없고
또 체코어 자체가 배우기가 까다롭다네요
그리고 이탈리아는 국립대학에 들어가면 학비는 거의무료지만
유로화의 인상으로인해 생활고가 심해서 포기하는 사람이 많아서

Czech Universities are not free for foreign students. Indeed, a good source of revenue for them is to run courses just for foreigners. For example, the Charles University medical school has huge numbers of (primarily American) students taught medicine (entirely in English) for fees that are very high (although apparently still cheaper than in the US).

I see. Are their any Uni in Europe that are free for foreign students? I'm guessing 'no'.

Norwegian universities are borderline free, even for foreigners. There is a small fee to pay each semester, with today's exchange rates it's about 80 USD.

I'm not sure if all courses are open to foreigners but I think most of them are... Notably, petroleum technology attracts a lot of foreigners who stay for the full 5-year course.

You will find in every major European country inexepensive universities, what you need to chose first is the subject matter you wish to study and the country (language), you'll have an easier time getting into a program if you already speak the language and for immigration you will need to demonstrate that you have the funds to live while you study.

It depends what you would call "inexpensive". A recent survey in the Guardian newspaper found that fees for non-EU students at UK universities ranged from £6,600-£20,400 per year:    http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2009/oct/14/internationa l-student-fees-method

This article states that Universities in Sweden are free for foreign students: http://www.thelocal.se/19410/20090512/

Are the lectures in Norwegian or in English?
