We BYU alumni have the advantage of an education that was massively subsidized, down to the point where you can actually afford to work your way through. State schools are supposed to do that too, but they don't anymore. That's why BYU is now near the top of the Forbes list of "Best Value Colleges" or whatever it is.
- swsieber 11y agoRight, but UVU is also not that expensive, ~3.5k a semester. I guess my point is class is still affordable if you are willing to get away a bit. Edit: These are meant to be example of cheapness in an area where I live. I don't think it's completely unique to this area. College does require planning ahead, and a year of living in a state and applying for residency can reduce the cost of college a great deal.

- ksenzee 11y agoSome states aren't spending as much on higher ed as Utah. In Washington, where I live, in-state tuition averages ~$10k.
- swsieber 11y agoWell, I do stand corrected then. Thanks :)
