France
France has been named by the Times Higher Education as the number one student city four consecutive times and all for a good reason. First of all, college is either cheap or free with most of their undergraduate programs at around $200 a year and their master's programs around $280 a year in most public universities. However, here's the catch - most programs are taught in French but there are also more than 1,000 courses which are taught in English.
Germany
Germany is next in one of the best places to go college in Europe because of its cheap or free college education. Undergraduate programs, though, are taught in German; however, their master's programs are mostly taught in English. Germany also has a fair number of international students. So if you already know German, want to have a free college education, and live in Germany, you can start living your dream and head there now.
Norway
Norway is another country that offers free college education at all its public universities although there are few specialized programs where you have to pay tuition. Aside from the beautiful landscapes and open spaces, the crime rate in Norway is also low.

The Netherlands
The Netherlands has a dynamic community of international students. It is also the largest provider of English-taught programs in Europe offering more than 2,000 programs. The average tuition fee is just $2,100 a year and the cost of living is low.
