Is University is free for internalional students in Norway, Sweden or Finland?
I read this on a different country's YahooAnswers, and I didn't believe it for a second. Is it too good to be true? Or is it half true? Or is it completely false? Thanks for your help.

Yes, it is true but the classes are in the language of the country. I have heard that you have to pay for classes in English.

It is true, but you must do your coursework in the local language, so you need to be fluent. And in addition, you must pay for room and board - it's just tuition that is free. Know that your home country's financial aid won't follow you if you do your degree overseas, so you'd need to come up with the room and board money on your own, before you started school each term.

Sweden will start charging tuition in the Fall of 2011. Norway and Finland, also Iceland, do not charge, but they hardly teach anything in English at the Bachelors level. They all three have a good number of Masters degrees that are taught in English though, and the number is growing. So if you are looking for graduate schools you may be able to find something there, but not at the undergrad level.
