Somewhat similar experience: * Went to a local state school on a scholarship plus 50k loans. Paid off the loans over a few years. Was never really a terrible burden even when I was making <50k * Worked over the summers * Got to study abroad for 6 months, made a very strong group of friends, and met my wife * Got to pursue anything I was interested before finally settling on CS My default state is that my children will be attending college.
