Tip: Go to community college for the first two years of required classes that nobody cares about at prices that are almost as good as free. Most locals have a nice reciprocity system between the community college system and a local state school, often even sharing professors. Get an A.S. or A.A., transfer to the state university, first two years are done! If your GPA was stellar, get grants to cover the rest of tuition. Entire 4 year B.S. or B.A., books included, should be had for less than $18k minus grants and scholarships.
If they got loans for that amount, that's not really a big deal either. If the first job outside of school pays $60k, they can live OK and still pay that amount off in a year or two.
Why this simple formula escapes so many is a fantastic mystery.
