Best state school for under 50k OOS?

[Anonymous]

MSU and look into residential college https://admissions.msu.edu/academics/residential-colleges/james-madison if interested in public affairs.

You would need some merit but with those test scores and high GPA they would probably get enough merit to get it under 50K as long as they applied early - ideally by Oct 16.

Berkeley
UCLA
UCSB
Mich
UT Austin
Florida
Maybe Wisonsin, Florida, Purdue

I’m not sure any other public’s give a bigger bang for buck over SUNY Binghamton.

Worst "under 50k" list ever. Just missing UVA.

Bing tuition is 7k. So hard to beat that. 25 with room and board.


Would I pay double to send my kid to WI? Only if kid really wanted that.

UT Austin is a weird case bcs they give in state to OOS kids as merit. But that's super hard to get into and get the waiver

SUNY colleges are a steal for in-state and pretty reasonable OOS too.

The only ones I see where you “might” get close to $50k are places like Florida, Pitt and maybe some less popular SEC schools as examples.

No way you get to your price for Michigan or any UC out of state. Likely not with Wisconsin either.

How much are the vibes worth it to you? I do not know which places are good for humanities but Florida, South Carolina, Pitt, Tennessee and maybe a couple flyers out west like Arizona and Arizona State could work.

If you can get comfortable with smaller schools, some of them have good aid packages. Colgate has good aid. Bucknell too. But you sacrifice in terms of big robust college experience.

OP said she’s looking at T20, if she’s looking at those, she’s going to look at these colleges. There is a point of diminishing returns though with OOS publics, and I get what she’s asking. Schools like Wisconsin and Purdue may not be worth it compared it Bing. UVA wouldn’t be worth it either.

Are there any state school that allow you to establish residency?

With that SAT, he’s likely get enough merit aid at an OOS school to bring the cost under $50k. UMass, for sure.

U of A honors college.

Have you checked the COA for ANY of these schools before you suggested? NC State, UMD and Pitt are all north of $50k.

For humanities econ/history kinda kid.

We're full pay so he'll try for T20 schools but want another option that offers value.

SATs now are 1540, but may take once more.

Live in NYC so Bing is our in-state and his baseline ie won't pay more for something less attractive (although Bing lacks a lot of the Big U qualities so not quite just a rankings game)

Florida.
