英格兰的学费现在是世界上最昂贵的，根据一项新研究。

在英国大学学习的平均年费是£9,188（约US$11,425），比美国学生支付的平均费用高出近£2,000。根据学生贷款计算器，美国学生的平均费用仅为US$9,410（£7,568）。

英国的学费也远远超过了欧洲其他地方的典型学费。法国学生每年支付相当于US$430，这意味着法国学生要花上25年以上的时间才能支付与英国同行相同的费用。

比利时、德国、意大利和奥地利的平均学费每年也不到$1,500，而一些欧洲国家（包括邻近的苏格兰）根本不收费。

从今年开始，英国学生的经济负担将进一步加重，大多数大学的学费将增加到£9,250（约US$11,500）每年。政府在去年12月悄悄确认了学费的增加，并将适用于全日制本科学位的英国和欧盟学生。虽然大学被告知他们必须证明提高学费的理由，但BBC报道称几乎所有大学都预计会收取全额学费。

未来情况可能会变得更糟，因为政府暗示学费不会保持不变，而将随通货膨胀上涨。

Top nursing schools in the US and Canada

As is the case across the overall World Rankings by Subject, the US is especially well-represented in the nursing school, claiming 34 of the 100 positions, including 16 in the top 50. As well as having four institutions in the top 10 (above), other top universities for nursing in the US include: the University of Michigan (ranked 11^th),  the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and Yale University (both joint 14^th), and the University of Pittsburgh (17^th).

Heading north to Canada, the country has nine top nursing schools, six of which are in the top 50. Outside of the University of Toronto in the top 10, other high-ranking institutions for this subject include the University of Alberta (16^th), the University of British Columbia (=20^th) and McMaster University (=27^th).

Top nursing schools in Europe

Of the 100 institutions featured in the nursing school ranking, over a quarter (26) are located within Europe, including 11 in the United Kingdom. Outside the three UK universities in the top 10, three other UK nursing schools feature in the top 50: the University of Edinburgh (29^th), Ulster University (37^th) and the University of Nottingham (=42^nd). 

Another strong European country for nursing is Sweden, which claims five of the world’s top nursing schools, including Karolinska Institutet (=12^th). Fellow Nordic nations Denmark and Finland also perform well, with Denmark’s sole entrant Aarhus University in the top 50, while Finland’s two representatives also achieve top 50 positions: the University of Turku and the University of Eastern Finland.

Meanwhile Ireland has four representatives in the ranking, led by Trinity College Dublin at 36^th. Elsewhere, Belgium, Spain and Switzerland claim one top nursing school apiece, all ranked 51-100.

Top nursing schools in Asia

Asia is home to 11 of the world’s top universities for nursing, with Hong Kong and Taiwan claiming three representatives each. Two of Hong Kong’s entrants are in the top 50: the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK)  (=27^th) and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (=30^th), and Taiwan’s National Taiwan University (NTU) is also featured in the top 50 (at joint 20^th).

Singapore’s sole entrant, the National University of Singapore (NUS), is the highest-ranked university in Asia for nursing, placing 19^th this year.

Two more top nursing schools can be found in South Korea, while Japan and Taiwan claim one each – of these, all four institutions are ranked 51-100. 

Top nursing schools in Latin America

Latin America is less prominent in the nursing school ranking, with Brazil the only Latin American country to feature. Brazil’s three top universities for nursing are all ranked 51-100, including the Universidade de São Paulo (USP).

一项新研究表明，成千上万的年轻美国人每年都会因为省钱而放弃自己的梦想，40%的美国人因为经济原因而拒绝了他们首选的大学提供的录取机会。

这项针对超过50,000名受访者的调查发现，担心费用和可负担性是学生决定放弃在梦想大学学习的机会，选择更实际的替代方案的最大原因。

19%的受访者表示，他们的决定是因为学费而做出的。其他给出的原因包括其他大学提供的经济援助（9%），其他大学提供的基于功绩的奖学金（6%）以及追求物有所值（6%）。

调查结果表明，许多人在选择大学目的地时出奇地实际，愿意为了省钱而放弃他们的梦想目的地。这或许并不令人意外，因为一些大学和大学的年度学费超过45,000美元。拒绝顶级大学录取通知的其他原因包括校园环境、学校位置和学术声誉。

对费用的担忧几乎同样适用于私立和公立学校。拒绝公立机构录取通知的学生中，有38%的学生因为费用而做出决定，而拒绝私立大学的学生中，有41%的学生因为经济原因做出了决定。

如果有任何值得一提的好消息，那就是大学现在可能更清楚学生对奖学金和其他形式的经济援助赋予的重要性。虽然期望奖学金和援助计划的金额增加可能过于乐观，但至少大学现在可能会更有效地宣传这些信息并使其易于获得。
