I went to a SUNY school. It wasn't a top X CS school, but in the 90s it was cheap enough that my parents could pay for tuition and I was able to take care of the rest.
Whatever I lost by not being a candidate to work at Google, etc I gained in flexibility. I was able to buy a home at 23, wasn't burdened by loan payments and have done pretty well.
My cousins went to Ivy League schools and did the medicine and investment banking route. They did everything "right", but are buried in debt and sound pretty miserable. To each his own.
