Tuition Fees: Europe's Uneven Playing Field for International Students The recent announcement by France to charge international students 16 times more than their EU counterparts has sparked widespread protests and calls for reform.

France is not alone in charging higher fees to international students. The Netherlands, for example, has a history of charging significantly more to non EU students than their EU counterparts.
