If I had to do it all over again (and assuming you aren't filthy rich) ...
1) Go in-state. I know you don't want to limit the kid, but there's serious $ difference between in vs out of state tuition (e.g. < $20k vs > $40k). Exceptions if your kid is super brainy, talented etc.
2) Consider overseas education. From the little research I did, it really is cheaper in Europe (assuming you get accepted). My neighbor's daughter is in Spain and having a great time
3) We didn't have any real success with college scholarships. We used FAFSA but ultimately made the decision not to use it (which we regret now)
