[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re why describe school as OOS if you don't mean public OOS (where there's generally a price differential based on residency)?  For some families (not necessarily OP's), the question is what would it take to induce you to spend more than in-state tuition for public school in your home state and to send your kid to go to college farther from home?

My parents were like that -- I grew up in California and the standard from my parents' POV was "is the school really worth $X more per year than Berkeley?" (Aka "beat Berkeley."). That was a high bar and only a few schools cleared it -- and those were private schools.

Abstractly, I still think that's a reasonable approach.  In practice, though, we live in DC, so "beat UDC" was a meaningless standard.[/quote]

Sure, but Hopkins is in (my) state and is no bargain. Perhaps if the OP framed it as your in state public option vs all other options it would have made sense. But it wasn't clear that was really the question, hence the focus on OOS public universities.  [/quote]
