I have a question. I am currently very young and attending a big high school in America. I am not yet a U.S Citizen however I am a citizen of the Republic of Croatia. I am very much smarter than the average student and I have intentions to go to very demanding and selective colleges and schools after high school, however I have a question. Since I do not believe money should interfere with your education level, and the American college system is post-secondary, I am only middle class and would probably not be able to afford any selective college even if I do get accepted. However, how does this work : If I move to a country which has liberal and free education even on high tech universities, like Sweden, would I get those benefits of a free college? Also, must I become a citizen of that country? And also, since I am a citizen of a country soon joining the EU, does that mean if citizenship is required would I get it and be able to move to a liberalized education like Great Britain and get the same benefits as the normal citizens? Thank you,,

You can't get a free education by moving to another country just to attend college - you need to have been living there and paying taxes to get that free education. But it can still be a lot cheaper than education in the US.

No, to get free education in Sweden you have to pay taxes and stuff and actually live here for other reasons than studying. However, if Croatia joins the EU, you will be able to get free education in Scotland after you have been a member of EU for three years, by applying for SAAS.
