    Lots of Americans are insecure and are convinced that they need to go to a $7,000/semester University or they're a failure. For many, it's entirely possible to get a good education without ever paying a dollar through scholarships (provided either through the state or private parties). I graduated with two bachelor's last year and was paid about $12,000 per semester in scholarships refunds for attending a lower-cost, but still accredited, university.
