And stupid as well, if you can do a flagship state school at $23K (all in) but privates with the same elite class are at $82K per year, that is one hell of a delta you have to cover in after tax dollars. Fortunately both of our kids got into the state flagship so we were able to bank the delta to allocate towards graduate school.

Not everybody is concerned with the cost and not everybody wants their child to attend a college where 70% of students come from a single state.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but every top 20 has majority in-state or in-region. Stanford mostly Cali, Harvard mostly MA, Penn mostly PA and NJ...

Harvard just 17% New England, so even lower in-state.

You’re wrong. Only publics and really crappy privates draw majority of students from in-state.

That's because those publics dictate the percentage of in-state students get seats. UCLA, UVA, UCs...

If they're so crappy, then why do they attract so many applicants and get so much research money?
