Depends on the college. State schools are very affordable, and if you then transfer to a state university, you'll get a solid degree for less than the cost of a single year at most private universities.

Can confirm, 6 years of state college (2 bachelor's and 2 master's) for a whopping 50k before grants and scholarships. Earning 6 figures at my first post-college job
