So, do a cost benefit analysis of whether it’s worth it to go out of state and pay twice as much to study that esoteric subject? You seem to be implying that students in those situations have no choice but to take on more debt, which seems to be a recurring theme in a lot of these threads, but they do. Or, they can live at home and go to a local community college for the first two years to take the general reqs, and finish up at that expensive 4 year school. A few of my friends did that and saved quite a lot.

> study that esoteric subject Where does this come from? The major one had was game design, another was for IT. I'm not implying anything. I know people from states who don't have great schools (or programs) available to them and choose to go out of state. The whole instate/out of state system needs an overhaul as well. Some students want to resettle out of their state and intend to stay after getting their education. That's a net plus for the state, why make it so difficult for them to get an education here if they are academically qualified?

  Those are slightly more esoteric/unusual programs. More common would be Computer Science. Yep, the public university program could definitely use work, no argument there. But I’m under the impression that most states have at least one serviceable university.
