5. Finland
The easternmost Scandinavian country offers its education free of charge. However, as of 2017, non-EU/EEA students will be required to pay the minimal tuition fee of €1,500 which translates to slightly more than $1,600. Finnish education system is widely acclaimed as one of the best in the world, and countless international students will likely continue to apply to Finnish educational institutions. Programs in Swedish and Finnish will be exempt from the new tuition fee, so if you’re planning on learning the language, you still have couple years to do so. Living costs in Finland are similar to the rest of Scandinavia, but most people agree that prices are generally lower than it is the case in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
