nah, I went to a private university bc I deemed it better than the opportunity to go to a public university for free even while factoring in cost. I went to public school from kindergarten through high school.
I don't have a specific view on whether all schools should be privatized or not. I am open to arguments on both sides.
I think all public colleges and universities should be run to be breakeven. Charge whatever it costs to maintain campus, pay faculty, etc. I do support price discrimination such that in-state students pay less than out-of-state students which already happens. I also believe in price discrimination based on hardship and parental income in which there would be scaled costs to people coming from families with incomes below $X/yr and then full sticker (2 separate scales for in-state and out) for those above $X/yr.
I also think there should be "forced diversity" in that public colleges should be mandated to accept a certain percentage of these hardship cases (not necessarily by race/religion/etc.) in order to make sure that capable, yet underserved students have the opportunity to elevate their status in society.
