Does it cost 400k per student in usa? Here in uk it would cost 60k for the whole thing including cost of living lmao

No. 400k is an absurd amount, even for private colleges. Go to a state university with a bit of financial aid (Easy, as long as you apply you’ll be certain to at least get something) and you’ll pay under 10k a year
