11. Greece
Greece is currently going through a rough patch that has considerably lowered the standard of living in this Mediterranean European country. If you’re coming from a country with a considerably higher standard of living, your living costs in Greece will be almost negligible compared to what you would have spent at home. EU and EEA (EU plus Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland, which hold the same rights) nationals are exempt from paying tuition fees at most Greek colleges, but international students will have to pay around $1,600 per year overall. This is still much less than an American national would have paid at home, and coupled with aforementioned low costs of living, represents a no-brainer. Furthermore, Greece is a country that has given democracy and philosophy to the world, so studying there can’t be bad for anyone’s future professional career. You’ll probably be able to live on less than $500 a month while in Greece, but these figures will vary from region to region. Oh, and your course textbooks are already included in the price.
