It depends on what you want to go to college for. If you want to be a doctor, lawyer, engineer, or something along those lines then good luck getting through without a lot of debt. A cousin of mine from a firmly entrenched middle class family went to medical school and is now in about 175k of debt. I'm in college for engineering and am in about 40k of debt with another 2 years out a five year program. It's a system that really needs to be reworked, or you're looking at a good portion of a generation entering the working world with massive amounts of debt.
