[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know... I generally find OOS public is a dumb idea unless you are talking Berkeley and other schools at that level. [/quote]

In some ways I agree, but I suspect for a very different reason. I agree that there are plenty of fantastic OOS public universities. But, in this area, I think in-state options are at least as good in nearly every area. [b]In most cases, it would be hard to justify paying much more to go OOS, unless admission to flagship is an issue (which is a valid concern), or even IS tuition is too high for a very high stat kid who might be able to get serious merit elsewhere.[/b] [/quote]

My DC is considering choosing Pitt over UMD-CP, in part because of its location.  Pittsburgh is a wonderful city and Pitt has a nice campus in a great neighborhood as well as a lot of great majors.

DC's merit aid brings Pitt down to just a few thousand more than what UMD-CP would cost us in-state.

I have mixed feelings about it but I do think that wanting to go to school more than 10 miles from home (and possibly wanting to live elsewhere post-graduation) is a valid reason for choosing Pitt over UMD.[/quote]
