- echelon 4y ago> state schools charging $40K a year for out of state tuition To be fair, they're often offering much cheaper rates to in-state students. Their parents and the students themselves are presumably paying taxes. They also hope the students continue to live in the state and pay taxes. If the out of state student becomes a resident, they get in-state rates. Out of state students aren't subsidized by taxes and might leave.
- lallysingh 4y agoIndeed. My school charged something like that 10 years ago for out-of-state but I (my parents, actually) paid $10k and that included room and board.
- Clubber 4y agoAlso, if you establish residency in the state for a year, you get in-state tuition prices, at least in the state I went to school. Effectively that $40K is just for the first year.
- jnwatson 4y agoI'm paying more for my kid to go to a middling out-of-state university for 1 year than the total value of my own 4-year out-of-state full scholarship with stipend 29 years ago.
