$13k per student is more than the cost of undergraduate education, at $12.5k per student for the University of Washington. https://www.washington.edu/opb/tuiti

  It's $40K if you select "non-resident", which I assume is because the in-state tuition is taxpayer subsidized.

    Why would non-resident apply to the comparison of local schools? My understanding is that you have non-residents subsidize things such as scholarship programs — but that in-state is fairly close to costs. State money appears to be a relatively small fraction of their incomes — and is smaller than the increase in their financial position. https://finance.uw.edu/uwar/annualreport2021.pdf https://finance.uw.edu/uwar/annualreport2021.pdf

      Because that's the "actual" cost, not the tax-subsidized cost. For in-state, the state is paying approx $27k and the student pays approx $13k, versus in k-12 the state is only paying $13k and that's all they get.

        I posted their financial report which makes it clear that state funding is not doing that.
