These reciprocity programs between a bunch of states are terrific and not at all for useless majors. Well worth exploring. |

What a joke. They’re not giving students in those states instate tuition. Penn State & UConn are about $19k/year in tuition alone (instate) last time I checked. NY state schools charge far less than that for their instate residents. This offer is basically saying, yay, you can pay $19k/year in tuition alone OOS to go to, say, SUNY Binghamton while NY residents pay half that. I would be shocked if SUNY schools charge than $19k/year tuition OOS sticker price anyway! All the schools on that list are the most expensive public universities in the US for their instate students. What a PR stunt. |
Georgia
California / New York New Mexico for a career change into a low paying field |
I posted above.. |
Well, yeah, into New Mexico |
I think PP meant if you’re getting, say, a master’s in education to become a teacher. No public school is going to care where you got that degree from & UNM is super cheap to attend. |
+1 Florida’s in state scholarship program is amazing. UF is far and away the best school, but there are some other decent options too. |

There is this system: https://www.passhe.edu/university/Pages/Our-Universities.aspx
Then Penn State and the satellite campuses And Temple fits in there somehow |
I left off Pitt from the PA public universities |
If you just want to get accepted, NY has a whole lot of decent state schools, more than VA I think, although no famous flagship. |
West Chester is in a nice location in the Philly burbs & has low tuition; it’s been growing recently (the only PASSHE school that’s growing) The rest of them are hanging by a thread. They’re in very low population, rural areas & aren’t competitive with other options. A bunch combined administrative functions last year. The really rural Western & North Central Pa ones probably don’t have a shot of staying open much longer. East Stroudsburg is 1.5 hours from NYC, has a town. It has frequent buses to there & is supposed to get an Amtrak stop soon. It would be sad if it shuttered, because it’s the only affordable 4-year public U in NEPA. Shippensburg has a lot of natural beauty. Just my 2 cents |
Are the students who might have gone to the smaller 4 year state schools just not going anymore? Just going to community college?
We have Radford (VA in state) and Slippery Rock (PA oos) on my kiddo’s possible school list. I know another post said Radford’s enrollment had dropped a lot recently. Not sure about SRU, but they were NOT rolled up in the PennWest merger. I was trying to get a little info earlier on why the Eastern PA merger didn’t happen, because those schools appear to be even smaller than the western ones that merged. I have friends who went to millersville and shippensburg |
Oh, wait - 3 other schools did merge
