[quote=Anonymous]This will not be attractive to all, especially those set on a $75k/year private, but if you are like us living in NoVA and both incomes under six figures you might not be able to afford such a high cost for college. State schools are a good option, but I wouldn't immediately write off OOS state schools. There are schools, particularly non-flagship in nearby states, that will offer discounts off of their OOS tuition that rival or could even beat in state costs. Some will offer a discount based on high school GPA and/or SAT. Others will discount because you are simply from a nearby state. Here are some examples, but there are others. (I will add that our DS's meal plan cost is picked up by an athletic team and there were additional tuition discounts beyond what the school awarded for the minimum SAT score that qualified.)

40% off the OOS tuition rate for new students:  https://www.kutztown.edu/costs-and-financial-aid/tuition-and-fees-(undergraduate).htm

$6k reduction for freshmen from OOS:  https://www.millersville.edu/admissions/undergrad/out-of-state-residents.php

150% of in state tuition for freshman with at least a 3.0 GPA in HS:  https://www.sru.edu/admissions/tuition-and-fees

Reduction based on SAT/ACT/GPA...  http://www.ship.edu/admissions/tap/

Reduction based on home state and GPA:  https://www.iup.edu/upper.aspx?id=11699

Reduced if you are no more than 120 miles from campus:  https://www.frostburg.edu/about-frostburg/Administrative-Offices/billing-office/regional-tuition-rate.php
