When did you do it though? That's a key thing. The price of college has changed drastically in the past 20 years.
I experienced the change myself because I dropped out after going to school for two years and went back to school 9 years later to finish my degree.
By the time I got back I was kicking myself for not taking out student loans then and staying in school, because the same education was now more than double the price, and I ended up having to take out loans anyway, and twice as much as I would have before. I'm just about done paying them off, 8 years after I graduated.
