I just graduated this December from state university ASU with a Bachelors. - I am 22.
I paid my way with a $25k (full ride) academic scholarship I won for ASU. I moved out of the house to become an RA as a way to pay room/board, and worked part time < 20 hours a week on campus for side money to pay bills. I moved back home beginning of my 3rd year to focus on classes and because I could not work enough to pay for another place to live. My parents paid a grand total of $400 towards my college education - they paid for a community college summer school class and the community college classes I took in my senior year of high school.
They have supposedly set the same standards for my younger siblings. Rent at home is free if you're going to school, but we are required to pay for school. Bro (19) is working on getting through a community college and he's paying the parents back for his classes - he is a college freshman this year.
My sister(18) is a high school senior and won the same scholarship I did to ASU, and another in order to live on campus in their honors dorm.
