People who say college is useless are largely idiots who have no idea what they're talking about. There's a huge difference between being able to self study and being able to have someone there to teach you something actively, someone you can interact with and have a dialogue with. More importantly, it's a formal environment is mandatory for most graduate programs.

That said I reached a point (in only my third year) where self-learning was more beneficial for me than the classes I was taking. However, even just the access to a wealth of information via worldwide university databases is well worth the money.
