If I was facing the decision to go to US college, I would be considering alternatives vs. paying full price at an Ivy League school.
Just think what you could do on a fraction of the cost.
- Travel the world
- Take online programming courses i.e. Golang on Udemy
- Use some of the capital to start a small online business
I would then look into taking a software apprenticeship.

Or the most obvious and common choice: - go to literally any other college. Also, of your alternatives, only one makes a lick of sense. Both > Travel the world and > Use some of the capital to start a small online business are 1) not actually options for anyone who has to take out loans for college, and 2) FAR more financially risky than the college route. (2) is the most important point. Is college a great option? Often, no. However, are the plentiful better options? Often, no. (And the ones that do exist don't scale... not everyone can be a plumber.)
