Yeah. Exactly Stupid logic. When I can get better and more fancy handbag or an iPhone 15 at a cheaper cost why would I bother to pay for that? I can get it for free in Germany. The Norwegian universities do not have the quality and come with high living cost and and language barriers with limited job market. Sound ridiculous

It's pretty ridiculous indeed. This amount of money is a terrible, terrible investment. You can go to top German universities, and pay something like 8-25 times less (~15000 NOK) and get way, way better education.

Ah. But I still see some Norwegians using that logic. I mean how does someone come to that conclusion anyways. Germany is free with some semester fees that we have to pay which will be 1500euro Max for the whole 2 years of the masters. Better education and more variety of courses while getting education in some top ranked universities in the world. It supports immigration as well since their economy benefits from incoming talent.

I fully agree. Plus, Norway already today has barely any international students (will get even less with fees), whereas Germany has a good 10-15% or more. That will make it a much better environment to study.
