Yes, I did. I am in one of our state schools with a scholarship that would cover half.
The privates, as I think everyone knows, have the big tuition. My sister did a private university. She sold a bunch of her stuff, as did my mother and then she worked on campus for the 4 years and came out without a dollar to owe.

My parents have the 80% to cover. The actual amount depends on the school.
