Nope I'm in Finland! :)
We get 80% of our rent paid by the government and a 'salary' of around $330 per month from the government as well. This is for all higher education students, I might add, that are Finnish and in full time education - its not some fancy grant for only a select few, this is for all Finnish students.
Yeah I did my undergraduate in the UK - I didn't have to pay tuition but I did have to pay living costs. I have a butch of student loans with the government - the payment terms are quite good, and the interest is only the rate of inflation (!) But still. Its much much much better here!!
Kind regards
Meri
