Will their country allow you to be born elsewhere, migrate there and then have the opportunity to receive an unlimited education? Free is not always the main objective. Anyone can get a student loan. So it is "free" during your learning process, is it too much to ask to pay it back? Don't forget the money the military gives for education, the umpteen scholarship funds, grants and donations given to just about anyone. If you can prove NEED, you will not be denied what a lot of countries can't even offer to their wealthiest citizens.
Sorry I was just promised a free university education in your country and now you are telling me I have to borrow money for it. The next thing you'll be telling me is that my "free" health care is going to cost me something too. Also, can I just arrive on a tourist visa and get all this free stuff or do I have to apply to stay permanently? Just wondering if I should bother with travel insurance for my next visit or whether I should just avail myself of some of this 'free'' health care.

By the way, will your government pay me to live while I study like I was paid to study my degree in Film and Television Production here in Australia?

Also, you still haven't provided me with any evidence that the USA offers me more opportunity to be educated than Australia does.
