In some places here, you can do a 'Tomorrow fund' where you lock in today's price of tuition so that you're not paying 2-3 times the same cost when your kid goes to college.
I'm going to continue the kitty user pic theme here...
I would say that not only did it hamper me, but tuition de-regulation in my program gave the university carte blanche to charge me more for the five years I was there. The original idea was that because Computer Science was such a burgeoning job market, and just about everybody got a job after leaving post-secondary schooling, that it's right to demand more money!
Then the dot-com bubble burst, and now nobody's hiring anymore.
I'm doing a little bit, for right now. I use UPromise (http://upromise.com). I have it set as a college fund for my niece right now, but once I have a munchkin of my own, I'll switch it over, since my sister and brother-in-law have other plans for financing her education.
