[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A decent state school - think one of the UCs or Penn State - is realistically $40K+ per year once you live on campus and get a meal plan.

What kind of smart, working class kids can afford that? Absolutely none. And they should aspire to more than community college if they have the chops to succeed at a 4-year college.

Not to mention the crazy inflation at private universities. [/quote]

Virginia has three or more decent state schools.  I just put three kids through and it was about $23k per year.   If finances are a concern stay in state unless another state is giving them a big scholarship.  MS and AL are the only two states that are generous with merit money for OOS students.  PA is famously expensive for in state. It’s citizens should raise hell over it.  [/quote]

DP here. Pa’s is truly a mess. Pitt and Penn State are among the most expensive for instate (although they’re hardly state funded) in the US. Highest average student debt as well. All but a couple of the “true” state schools (PASSHE) are flailing due to state underinvestment and undesirability due to their locations. The best PASSHE school has a 50% 4 year graduation rate! To be honest the whole upper mid-Atlantic/northeast does not have affordable public universities. NJ’s situation is no better, nor is NH’s. [/quote]
