You don't have to be rich or upper middle class to go to Stanford. I know many graduates who are neither and whose parents are neither. And Stanford is only one of four major local feeder universities. One is a medium-priced Catholic university with an excellent reputation: Santa Clara University. And you don't have to be Catholic to go there; a great many non-Catholics get BS or graduate degrees from there. Their speciality is MS degrees in EE, CS, and business and their classes for those degrees are early (around 7 AM) so people can go to class, then go to work. The two others are state universities with low tuition: UC-Berkeley and San Jose State University. Nobody ever apologized for a degree from Berkeley. And SJSU is now considered to provide a good education in EE and CS.
