Truly shocking they haven't discovered "out of country tuition". That is the big scam here in the US, most of the state schools have out of state fee's that are 2x-5x as high as the instate ones. The excuse of course is saving money and how the students parents don't pay taxes (ignoring they pay taxes elsewhere).
The best part of course, is the lame/insane rules they come up with to determine if your instate or out of state. Mostly because in the US just having a utility bill from a rental or what not is enough to transfer a drivers license/residency. Amusingly enough, most of these states actually require in state vehicle registrations for said students in order to get the tax money...

Or it's actually seen as an investment in the future as these students often stick around, meaning you get a well-educated young citizen and didn't even have to pay for the first 12 years of her education.
- theVirginian 11y agoPart of the reason for raising tuition is also to discourage out of state students from applying so that they can provide a relatively high quality of education to state's residences that is accessible to many of the state's residents. Georgia does this, as well as some other schools.
- joe_the_user 11y agoMost US states used to do that. Now, at the least, the University Of California prefers out-of-state and out-of-country just for the extra tuition and charges tuition that's not really accessible for in-state students.
