@quinta @timmy @VeroniqueB99 Negligible is not zero. Previous poster asked how it could be zero. It's not. It's smaller than US, but definitely not zero (e.g. billions of euros for France only, 1 in 10 student has a loan) and increasing every year.
I don't see the point of boasting that it is zero to claim some kind of moral superiority over the US. Especially since many countries are moving towards higher tuitions and more student debts.
@quinta @timmy @VeroniqueB99 It's misleading though. There definitely is some student debt. At least in France, there are interest-free state loans backed by the state: https://www.service-public.gouv.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F986?lang=en
And various banks offer student loans. They're a lot smaller than in the US because tuition is cheap (for public schools and unis). However, you still need to pay rent through student jobs, grants, family or loans.
