You don't need rich parents. You need parents who plan ahead. My parents put two kids through college with savings and zero student loans or other financial aid, and they had quite modest incomes.

I know that may not feel rich to you, but it definitely makes you the exception to the rule. Most students receive some amount of financial aid, especially in 2016 after decades of massive inflation in tuition costs.

That's great but it's not really something the student has much influence on
