Not when taxing ur withdrawals is a part of their budget. 
  
 If a saver is dead-set on doing it in a tax favored account an ira is still the way to go. If ur kid decides college isn’t for them you can still repurpose the funds for something else without a bunch of hoop jumping.

I agree with ira as another vehicle... once my kids 529s' hit a good level but not too high, I'm switching my contributions to IRAs. Worst case scenario my kids don't use a their 529 funds and I'll gift them to their kids. 
  
 I'm hoping on scholarships and then I can withdraw the equivalent amount out of the 529 with no penalty. Let's hope my kids are smarter than me.
