I don't know if that's true for everyone:

Vasudev's father, Jitesh Vasudev, told CBC News he and his wife spent their entire life savings and mortgaged their house to take out a loan of $50,000, just to afford the first year of his son's education in Canada, before he was shot and killed.

That's unfortunate, although I do kind of wonder what the plan was after year 1.

It's true for most, having talked both to foreign students and foreigners who could never dream of being foreign students. It'd be dope if we actually just worked out a philosophy for how our universities should be funded.
