There is no doubt that there are countries in some part of the world that do not charge tuition fee from both local and international students coming for studies. In these countries students do not have to worry about paying tuition fee as education is supported by the government. Students coming for studies in these countries have to set aside some amount of fund (varies for each countries) for their living expenses, traveling cost, and insurance. That said, let's go ahead to the list of three countries where tuition is free in 2018.
