You understand that this isn’t unique to Carolina, right? That any OOS student at a public university paying that higher OOS tuition is subsidizing the instate students. That’s how it works. |

brutal. Still one of the best in state deals around. That is all they really care about in the end.
The NC legislature is maga dominated with firm control and with the gerrymandering in place not much will change in the state house for foreseeable future. |

Not if you know how to find a deal. U South Carolina is right down the road and will give you in state tuition or even cheaper. |

In-state families should throw a fit. In-state kids with need should go for free before giving OOS a discount even if it is for need. |

They always have, and still will, meet in state full need students.
The oos FA budget cut is not to give it to instate, it was to move a 17 mill debit from the budget by raising the same 17 mill in new oos tuition....see how that shell game works? |

LOL comparing South Carolina to Chapel Hill. The point went right over your head. But in 2026 people love to troll, argue and rage bait. |

That is why UNC is heading for a UMICH oos setup, that is full pay and "fuller" pay. They will still offer some oos FA but greatly reduced.
This allows them to still claim UNC is need blind but that's a farce, you do not raise another 17 mill on oos by being need blind, you raise it by preferring full pay oos or at the minimum fuller pays. |

| And that 17 mill was just the new tuition estimate from FA savings before the 10% raise on oos rates for coming year. I am sure they are probably trying to hit say 25 mill in new oos tuition based on the 1)oos FA cut 2)oos 10% tuition increase. |

It's 60 raised to 65k |

We're paying much less than the in-state full pay rate, but a bit more than we would pay with the same amount of need in-state (bc of Tar Heel Guarantee / NC Promise) |

They really aren’t though. Large universities have far more complex budgets than this. The full pay kids are often subsidized too, just to a lesser extent. |

| Aside from UNC and UVA, are there any other state flagships that meet full demonstrated financial need for out-of-state students? |

UMich and all the California schools do not meet OOS financial need. Everywhere else varies more depending on the kid. |

That's why we moved from DC to VA not MD. Of course UNC is better than UMD. But UVA is on par or better than UNC for undergrad, and is an incredible deal when in-state. |

UVA is unique among publics in that it is need blind |
