This is mostly for Americans.
Many European countries have the same tuition fees for EU nationals and for foreigners. The complicated part is that for bachelor degrees it requires for you to learn the language and pass the local admission test. I know the examples of Germany and Spain. Germany is nearly free and Spain ranges between €700-2000 a year. Living expanses are cheaper in most countries and you can earn extra money being an English tutor. If you start teaching the target language to your children early on and make contacts abroad so you can exchange your teenager with a local family (there are thousands that would love their kids to spend some months in the USA) you would be able to send your kids to a prestigious European university saving tens of thousand of dollars (plus the living experience they would enjoy).
For masters, I’m from Spain and I helped my American wife to navigate the admission system and she just enrolled in a Masters program online that is taught in English in a legit public university. Total tuition fees of €700, no books or BS. That without spending anything else than translating her transcripts and diplomas to Spanish by an official translator. If she wanted to do the same program online in the USA it will cost her between $10000-$20000.
