Out of State students at your State U

[Anonymous]

How do you feel about out of state students taking up seats at State U while qualified in state university students are turned away? I think it must be hard on parents who pay taxes to support their state university only to find that their own child is turned away in favor of someone else’s childWho doesn’t pay taxes to support that same university.

out of state pays more, makes up for the tax $$

I feel like it's good to have out of state students so my kids can be exposed to students from other places.

Exactly. And those coming from out of state help keep the in-state tuition prices low.

Unless they’re getting merit aid and UVA is generous. Where does that money come from? My qualified kid was rejected but his OOS friend got in with generous aid. But my kid is was educated in the VA system, I’m the one paying NoVA COL (insane)…and taxes. Feels great!

Half of VA and is extremely transient. Most of us are from somewhere else.

I am from NY, where there are 64 state schools. So the idea of caring about out of state students is a ridiculous concept to me.

You can’t be serious. Accept the rejection and move on. Good lord.

Does your state have only one state university?

my former home state only has 2 - pretty much the former segregated white college and the HBCU.

It's not a great situation in Illinois. There's only one very highly regarded option, it's pretty expensive even in-state, and they let in lots of out of state students to cover the shortfall in funding because it's been underfunded by the state. They give virtually no merit aid.

Udel accepts 90% of its in-state applicants.

I am with you. If it happens to my kid, I will stop paying tax.
