I live in Brazil and here the best colleges are public, you need to apply for the admissional test (which, thanks to the poor quality of our public schools, usually gets only people who attended private schools approved) and them you can graduate for free.
The private colleges (those which you must pay) are here of two kinds: low quality colleges where lower middle class people who egress from public schools study, usually with a scholarship of the government, which can be a 100% scholarship; and top quality colleges where some members of the affluent elite study (the other members are in the public universities). A shitty country with a shitty educational policy, you see.
So here there isn't this culture of saving money for college, either you're a really intelligent guy who can make your way to the public university despite the deficiencies of the public school, or you're a more privileged upper middle-class/rich guy which will course law, medicine, publicity or engineering in the University of Sao Paulo or FAAP, Mackenzie, PUC etc.
Did your parents save money for you to go to college?
