I had to pay for part of my college through all four years and I knew this entering into college. But after my first year I failed out with a whopping .714 GPA. I didn't party, I just didn't feel the need to go to class. I dunno, I wasn't mature enough to handle a university I guess.
So after that, my parents wasted $10k on the first year and said no more until I could prove to them I wanted to be in college. So for a year I was on my own and I got a 3.0 that year, so my parents helped finish paying the rest of college. Made it a lot easier to get money from them when community college was less than $500 for an entire semester and I got back into the university as an in-state resident and paid $8k less than my freshman year. : )
