Why Danish students are paid to go to college

Whereas U.S. politicians argue about how much students should pay for higher education, the opposite is the case in Denmark: There, the government is even paying its students to go to college.

"Danish citizens don’t have to pay any tuition fees. Housing is really cheap, as well," Christoffersen said, before adding: "In fact, we’re all being paid by our government if we’re enrolled in a university. It’s like somebody is paying you a salary for going to your college classes."
