The State University systems also got defunded in a major way all across the country. I took the less expensive in-state option before the latest rounds of cuts and still ended up with $20K or so. If I had went today, there's a chance it would have been closer to $30K or more, and it hasn't been that long. And how can we know what will be needed 5-10 years in the future? Granted, there are some that are long-shots for ever being worth borrowing for, but even professional degrees like Law have taken a major downturn that no one predicted.
