Free college for everyone (most countries flat out restrict who can get in and for those it's heavily subsidized, but not free), single payer system (most universal healthcare countries don't have that), single payer that also covers dental and vision, a financial transaction tax, and a wealth tax.
These only seems to be radically left of Europe if you take it in the least charitable light.
I doubt he actually supports totally free college for everybody, every penny, no questions asked, and I'd bet he would take a deal with heavily subsidized education.
It's a bit of a stretch to say supporting single payer is radically left of Europe when it has been done in the UK, Canada, Spain, Australia, Japan, etc. (although it depends how broadly you define "single payer") Even so, advocating a system that is different from a lot of universal healthcare countries doesn't make you significantly left of those countries.
