EDIT: When considering the cost of university, you have to consider more factors than just tuition. For instance, not everyone has the ability to live at home, rent-free, while they attend university.

That's not really a class thing in Canada though. Almost everyone can afford University in Canada. U of C with books is 6K a year. That legitimately is the "I worked my way through college part time" meme as reality.
edit: it's actually $7k a year. Tougher, still within reason. I didn't see your edit and it yet it was there when I hit quote, but yes, not everyone has the option to live at home.
