hey buddy, I know you didn't ask me, but here in Venezuela despite the difficult situation, we have some public universities, which are not fully functioning due to the economic and social crisis.
edit: I'm a musician too, and there is a chance here to get a good education in that profession, the core problem is that because of our crisis there are a lot of good teachers/musicians immigrating or leaving their jobs at the university because they earn more money by working freelance, not to mention all the other factors affecting the employees of these universities, infrastructure, insecurity, crime, etc.
You may have a lot of questions about our situation here because there is a lot of information out there, both true and false, but I can assure you that everything that @miguelvargas says to you is reliable.
University is a college, correct?
that's correct
That's awesome, I did not know that there were free colleges in the world. That offers a lot of potential improvement for people who would otherwise not be able to attend due to cost.
Man, higher education in Venezuela is been free since 1864, there are some private colleges but they are meant for the lazy and rich so they can buy they way into dad's company.
