We need this. UVA, WM, VT, and JMU are admitting a ton of kids from NJ lately.

Limited choices in nj

Huh? Colleges aren’t luxury resorts. Pick one.

Seriously. I firmly believe the vast majority of seats at any state university should be reserved for in-state applicants.

and the rest of the seats going to citizens and legal residents

Thanks Drumph!

As an immigrant with kids born in the US, I agree with the PP. Foreigners can always join at the grad level. It's stupid policy to compromise on the education opportunities of our residents/citizens in exchange for revenue dollars from other countries..

I'm an immigrant; grew up and educated in CA (went to a state univ). While I tend to agree with you, foreign students also do bring in more money. So, if you want 100% resident only, then be prepared to pay more taxes to cover the shortfall.

Tuition had gone up by 50%+ in the four years I attended college in CA. And this was decades ago.
