**Go International.**

There are many countries which offer free or cheap tuition at all levels. Some countries only subsidize education for their citizens, but others do it for international students as well.

For example, [there are hundreds of universities in Germany that have free or very low-fee tuition programs available for international students.](https://www.studying-in-germany.org/)

[France also charges very little to international students](https://www.study.eu/article/tuition-fees-in-france) (~$3K/yr after conversion).

[In Norway It's completely free.](https://studylink.com/countries/norway/) And from the same source *"It is very common for degrees to be offered in Norwegian and English at institutions in Norway. A large majority of the population also speak good English."*

These are just a few examples, and you won't have to compromise the quality of your education. The above countries have great education systems.

You'll have to pay travel fees, but that may very well be cheaper than tuition in some US institutions.

Plus, sometimes a change of scenery can be refreshing.
