[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most state flagships are prestigious within their state. If a state flagship had over 25% or more of it's student body from out of state and has convinced them to pay out of state tuition without having to pull them in with substantial merit grants, then it is definitely prestigious outside the state as well because now these kids are choosing it over some private schools. I think UVA is over 30% out of state. That qualifies as prestigious in my book and I'm not from Virginia[/quote] And Michigan is at 50/50. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bostonglobe.com/news/nation/2018/03/29/university-michigan-nearly-half-students-now-from-out-state/PuwM6sQz164bOjttH1RDPN/amp.html[/quote] Basing prestige on how many out of state students doesn’t really make sense because states are different in their policies/laws regarding how many they’ll accept. For example Michigan says straight out that they love out of state students because they bring with them $60K/year, vs. instate kids who only bring in ~25K/year (and are more likely to need fin aid) and it’s a means by which they can balance budget woes. Whereas a state like North Carolina has *laws* that state that a certain percentage of the UNCCH incoming class MUST come from North Carolina. Another example: University of Vermont is 79% out of state. West Virginia is 48% out of state. UDel is 65% out of state. On the other hand, UC Berkeley is 15% out of state, UW Madison is 26% out of state, UCLA is 16% out of state. I think we can all agree that UC Berkeley holds way more cache than University of Delaware or West Virginia University...[/quote] Wait wait — You think University of Michigan has budget woes? LOL Michigan’s endowment was 11 billion in 2017. Yes they love out of state tuition, but they aren’t exactly strapped for cash![/quote] That’s not how this works...[/quote]
