Over here it costs £3725 a year, but the government has special grants and loan schemes for all students to help fund it, so in theory anyone who wants to go to uni can do so without having to work at the same time to pay for it. Although the current government increased fees to £9000 a year for all students who started uni last year or later, with equivalent funding increases to pay for it, which is making it harder. Still a lot better than you Americans' system though.
