If you want to study computer science,nursing, business, engineering etc then it is free. I would also extend that to certain trade schools that teach in-demand skills like auto and diesel mechanics, plumbers, etc.

#23 My cousin was in those wars fighting with US forces.
And the ongoing costs are still affecting the rest of the world. Including Czech. As leader of the free world, the free world has a voice.
