I'm sure things are a bit different nowadays, but here's my college cost rundown:
Attended a CA community college for 5 semesters @ $300 ea plus about $150 ea in books = $2250
Transferred to Cal Poly SLO for 11 quarters @ $750 ea plus about $250 ea in books = $11,000
Add in various school fees over the years (parking permits, student ID), no rent (lived at home)... was out for about $15k. Got a BS-CSC from a great school and never had a student loan.
P.S. I graduated in '02.
