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

It’s an elementary level calculation mate, instead of bragging about your schools maybe attend one.

you messed up the fairly simple calculation $40M/400=$100k so this person is suggesting that since you cant do elementary school division (I would say more high school level) you probably shouldn't be bragging about how cheep your colleges are.

Ye I just realised 🤦‍♂️ but i wasn't bragging at all, who tf flexes uni fees? US has higher avg salary than the uk anyways so id expect it to be a little higher.

Funny thing is im doing 12grade maths rn, which is pretty embarrassing 🤧
