I hear that French unis are really cheap even for non-Europeans, though.
Well, it depends. Non-autonomous universities are pretty cheap.
A friend of mine is currently studying at HEC, though, and has to pay €26.000 as a student from the EU (2 years). A student without citizenship from a EU member state has to pay €36.000.
Still, €13.000/18.000 a year for a postgrad degree isn't too bad.

I keep hearing stuff like it only costs 500 Euros per year to study postgrad in France and Germany lol.
The news report I saw about this stated that it was the desire of the university's president (?) to eventually have the programs offered in English. Whatever the case, many Germans are quite fluent in English. While I was attending university there I requested to submit some of my assignments in English and it was not a problem. Also, university students do (I believe) have to pay a fee to enroll each semester and after 13 semesters (iirc) the fee increases somewhat. A free university system is something that Germany probably won't be able to maintain - in recent years Germany started to tax seniors' pensions thanks to countries like Greece and in general having to keep the European economy in order. University students paying tuition (which 99% will easily be able to afford) shouldn't be far off now...

Germany abolished all tuition fees for programs at public universities a couple of months ago. They might charge you each semester for a student union membership or public transportation, though.
Yes, that is true. It is not only the US but also Australia and the UK. That is the reason why Norwegian students are so popular. I think American and British students should pay for their education in Norway.
Americans and British are just as human as Norwegians so that is probably why Norway pays for everyone's education, they understand a human is a human.

Yes, in Germany you pay a "Semesterbeitrag". Example from Düsseldorf: At the moment €249.66 per half year. Composition of this amount:
Student self-administration: €14.50
Student union: €79.00 (its mainly for subsidizing the canteen food and the dorms)
Free public transportation within the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region: €110.16
Free public transportation within the state of Nordrhein-Westfalen: €46.00
You get great services for your "Semesterbeitrag". It's a really good deal because of the free public transportation.
Many students just enroll at the university to get the benefit of free public transportation. But they never attend the university. One can save a lot of money by doing so.
