It depends. College in the US is a really expensive entry ticket for lots of jobs (and for most of the well paying ones). Compared to universities in Germany (and from hearsay, other countries have more difficult, cheaper schools), there’s less work at a lower level, so you won’t learn as much (and it’s easier).

It’s possibly worth it if:

You’re just checking a box required for a well paying job you can reasonably expect to get after graduation

You’re not willing or able to study elsewhere

You’ve gotten into an Ivy League school or one with a great reputation for your specialty (RISD, Berkeley, Texas A&M, MIT, etc.).
