I don't know where you got that 30,000 a year figure. My wife is paying 15,000 a year and is an out of state resident. My best friend is paying 8,000 a year being in state. Also, that doesn't include government financial aid. I'm paying 5k a year at a private university because of financial aid

That was supposed to be one for one of the best universities in your country like Harvard or MIT. Other's I expected to be cheaper.  

Marquette is ranked 80th, which is good considering the thousands of schools there are, and tuition is 33k a year... however, with financial aid I will basically only pay 10k out of pocket for my degree. Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, (the IV league schools) are extremely difficult to get into and there is a saying "if you are accepted they will pay for your education." I was actually invited to apply to Columbia but New York is extremely expensive. Even if I took out loans I doubt I'd be able to pay for it. It's also extremely far. Also, I need to stay in Illinois for legal reasons (but that's honestly my choice. I could leave if I wanted to I'd just lose something I don't want too)

i can't believe it's generally cheaper for HE in the states than it is in the UK, WTF? Every university cost £8000 to £9000 a year here, although we have 30 years to pay it. 

I rounded up to give a high estimate, but my schooling was ~£3,000/year and I consider it to have been a good education. I also already had a job before graduation.
