All EU universities charge fees to non-EU students, as far as I know. I have always had to pay fees as a non-EU student. There were certain exceptions for economically disadvantaged, but everyone else paid. Keep in mind, most students outside North America are paid for by their home governments. The same is true in North America, except that here EVERYONE pays.
If Finland is not charging non-EU, then that is the best deal on Earth. I wish I had known. On the plus side, the Congress just appropriated the most money for higher education ever, increased student subsidies, grants and loans, reduced the criteria for obtaining financial assistance, increased the ability of working people to deduct the cost of higher education/training from their tax bills, and tens of billions for basic research. Its not the whole kaboodle, but its a start. Of course, if you get all your news on IRC, you might have missed this.
