$2,000/semester is a GOOD price at a local COMMUNITY COLLEGE
That's $2,000 every 4 months. That's $8,000 a year. For three years that's $24,000
That's nearly the amount Wyatt mentioned. However this is a REAL SHITTY community college.
Granted you'll be made to pay an extra $8,595 if you do decide to use a dorm - so that's $32,595 a give or take (not including books, travel, other costs, etc).
Now, a good college could increase that price - you don't wanna know.
Some universities can run you up to $32,557 for a year in TUITION alone.
NOT including "Health Services Fee", Student Services Fee, Room & Board, books, travel, and other endeavors.
That could be $97,671 for a 3 year degree :x
It's no joke when you hear some people say they dropped a hundred grand in college, seriously. It's fucking pathetic.
Chances are you and I won't drop that cash, but it's certainly not heard of by ANY length.

yes
Going by my sister (i.e. starting this month) she's paying £3,145 a year tuition (~$6,300), £3,400 for a dorm ($7,800), and then about £1,000 for supplies, books, studio costs, whatever. So like... £22,645 for the three years (~ $45,270).
Thankfully here we have a maximum cap on the tuition fees, which I believe is £3,145. So even Oxford and Cambridge can only charge that much. But depending on where you go, living costs go up (it can be like £6,500 (~$13,000) a year just for shitty student accommodation in London, for example).
We also get student loans from the gov't.
I.e.
Government loans you the full cost of your tuition fees, as well as around £3k towards living fees (~£4.5k if living in London).
Then you get a Grant for anywhere between £0 and £2,000, depending on your family income.
Everything but for the grant has to be paid back, with no interest. You only start paying back once earning £15,000 a year; and if it isn't paid off in 25 years it is written off (though that is unlikely to happen).

We have numerous different load options too, they all just mostly suck
Seriously, if you live here PLAY BASKETBALL OR FOOTBALL
or become a whore, either way

They charge us interest on our student loans here. F*ckers. >.< And education is ridiculously expensive here in Canada, and depending on your province, you may or may not be paying excessively higher taxes. Gawd I hope NDP gets in on the next election. Or the Green party. Legalize pot, yay!
I actually met a girl during college who was in fact an "escort" to pay her tuition fees to become a lawyer. I thought it was rather ironic, but at the same time, it made sense. O.o
One a serious note, it's really sad she was in that position, seeing as she came from poverty.

Then for comparison purposes...
Stanford University (comparable quality to Cambridge or Oxford) is $12,000 per regular school year quarter (summer is shorter and therefore less expensive). So for autumn, winter, and spring, that's $36,000 in tuition per year. Residence on campus (required freshman and sophomore year) is $10,500. Some live in frat/sorority houses, which are more expensive. Books average $500-$2000, per quarter, depending on major (art, science, and law books at Stanford are all exorbitant). Let's use the $500 for our math. Meal plan is $1500-$2000 per quarter. So, minimum, it comes out to $49,500 per year to attend Stanford. There are plenty of schools more expensive than that, although mostly of the private school or Ivy league variety. Out of state fees bring certain huge public (that's american public, which for those who don't know means a different thing across the pond) universities in the same range. I wanted to go to Michigan: out of state fees brought tuition alone to $38,000 per year.
There are loads of financial aid packages, not to mention partial and full scholarships for academic or athletic excellence (the latter a priviledge reserved only for Division 1 universities). Most grants, however, are a pittance compared to how much is owed. I for example recieved a $2000 grant when I transfered to a D1 school - which is pretty much the maximum for a non-government grant, the most common type in the US. Government financial aid is more often in the form of very long-term loans.
This sort of brings up a totally unrelated topic of how the US spends something like 40 times as much money on the miltary as on its education budget; which I'm fairly confident in stating is by far the largest discrepancy amoung 'first world' countries.
