UK has free college? Is that a joke?

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

It's misleading. If you ask someone in the UK if college is free, they say "of course", because they're talking about 16-18 pre-university education. If you ask them if university is free, they say "only in Scotland".

Depending on your age, it is free. Need to slap some asterisks on the image with some sub notes.

Usually yanks seem to think that UK=England. For this narrative it would seem that the UK=Scotland

Incorrect. They see the Union Jack and think London.
