Okay, but if college is your thing for legitimate reasons, the cost of college shouldn't be a barrier.

Some of the more interesting people I know skipped college to live abroad and then came home and started successful businesses. I know many successful people in the tech sector who skipped out on college to learn their craft in other means. And plenty of people would be much happier and more successful to invest in learning a trade. There is a huge range in what people get out of their college experience. I don't know that getting drunk for 4 years, hanging out at frat parties and scraping your way through classes you hate is the most beneficial way to spend public money in some cases.

This entire paragraphs is a mess of anecdotal evidence and pure speculation.
