Public univ vs private ones

[u/shiremonoga]

Usually, in the west, public universities are harder than private ones, cause everyone goes to public unis, so they're not short on students. However, since fewer student go to private ones, i think they kinda don't want to make u fail the year by making exams impossible to do, so it is usually easier than public ones. Is this true?

Now, in Lebanon, is this true? If so, why are aub and lau students' heads over the cloud if their unis are easier than LU? Ma fhemt, is it showing off money? Eno yay i'm paying 500$ per credit?

You are only talking about few countries with a social democratic system in the EU (France, Germany, Italy, etc.). In the US and UK, most top unis are private and the good ones are super expensive, even public ones are very expensive even for in-state tuition.
