Money makes a difference

In Czech Republic nor in Slovakia students do not pay for their university studies. Basically, the only expenses they do have to cover are books, housing, food and their leisure. In Nebraska, USA students do have to pay for their studies. Apart tuition there are many different fees such as technology fee and whatsoever. The results are following:
  • students can borrow laptops for free
  • teachers can make as many copies for students as they need, nothing like "we do not have enough paper bla bla bla"
  • there are no lines for computers - and there is big computer room even in our dorm which is open during the night as well
  • computers are fast!!! new!!! and work properly!!!
  • computers have new software
  • there are music rooms with pianos in our dorm
  • it is possible to borrow bikes for $10 per day
  • any other outdoor equipment can be rented in recreation center for really good price as well as equipment for indoor sports (squash racket for 50cents heh)
  • university is very well equiped
  • recreation center is wonderfully equiped
  • etc
Well, you can really see the difference comparing to my home university.
