Have you looked at college costs recently? Look what Michigan costs for an in-state student: https://admissions.umich.edu/costs-aid/costs

Or Maryland: https://financialaid.umd.edu/resources-policies/cost-attenda...

Or Texas: https://onestop.utexas.edu/managing-costs/cost-tuition-rates...

I think you get the picture...
