David,

There's a word for that - pedophilia.

But seriously, here in Oz you don't pay to go to University, up front
that is.
There's a scheme called Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS)
under which you are billed
when you graduate, and you pay back a certain percentage each year
from your salary as a newly
minted professional, once you earn over a certain lower limit.

It does mean you start out with a whopping great debt hanging over
your head that can take forever
to pay off.

However, from age 17/18 when you enter Uni to 26 when you walk out
with your PhD under your arm,
all you need do is feed and clothe yourself, and make some beer money
via part-time work.

Which means many students still live at home.

It could be another 18 years before the youngest Dr Cool flies the
coop, which is a sobering thought. :-(
