Well that would have been boring! How about a BS in four-five years with a bunch of random cool-sounding classes in between, along with a fair share of partying and establishing hopefully enduring friendships and romantic relationships.

Or you could graduate, and do the same thing, except making $10k+ a month while you are doing it. The idea that college is now about romance and partying is part of what's skewing the prices.

$10k+ a month right out of college? When did this become the norm?

It is at Stanford, for ten years running.

It never has been and currently isn't. The person you are responding to is trolling this entire thread.

When has college not been about party and romance?

None of that needs to cost most of $100,000 dollars.

It's all priceless.

It's also possible that Stanford might not be the best place for you if you are unable to get grants/scholarships, and it places too great of a financial burden. You can have a successful career with degrees from other universities as well.
