I feel spoiled for going to a private university

This is going to be a thread about a stupid first world problem so I apologise in advance.

For some reason I feel extremely spoiled because I will go to one of the most expensive universities in the world and my parents will pay for all of my tuition. I didn’t win any scholarships and I’ve told my parents that it would be a lot easier if I went to a university that was cheaper but they insisted that I go to this school.

I feel like I am not worthy of all of this money. It seems like a huge waste, to be honest. When I think about the ridiculous price of universities in the US, I get worries about the fact that I will not be able to repay my parents. I think about how much would be expected from me once I graduate this university since it is so expensive and what if I don’t fulfil these expectations?

Anyone else having these thoughts?
