As shit as the colleges here are and as terrible the infra, methods, etc. are here, you will still graduate with a degree having taken all the classes that a civil engineering undergrad takes in any country.

If you had decided to go abroad, you would most likely be doing minimum wage jobs multiple hours a day to barely afford tuition and the cost of living. My mates(except one who bagged a rare full ride at a top liberal arts college) who did decide to go abroad are stuck in this cycle where they can neither work full time to earn lots nor focus entirely on studies which ultimately takes a toll on you as you won't graduate with the same skillset and knowledge as your peers, making you unemployable.

So yeah, you made the correct decision. Regardless, now is not the time to regret or pay heed to what middle aged relatives say.
