[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The college tuition in the cheapest Republican states has grown even more than private school tuition. UT-Austin is a prime example. Cost ~$3K a year in 1989 for an in-state student (my sister went there).  [/quote]

College tuition in Red States tend to be cheaper than in Blue States. I think the cheapest flagship in the country is U-Montana.

I checked and UT-Austin is 11-12k a year in-state for undergrad, not including housing/room and board, based on two semesters in a year. Double that when adding room and board. Still pretty damn cheap.

Texas has always had an unusual commitment to educational opportunities for residents.  The top x% from each high school are guaranateed admission.[/quote]

UCLA is $13,225 instate without boarding. Not bad. Boarding and meals ads $16k. Plus books, incidentals. 
Housing is a very very expensive component of college. Red states are much cheaper to live in and that keeps costs down. Plus, no one will go to these red state universities if they cost a fortune. They are bound by the market. [/quote]

Shrugs. I think someone is trying to keep changing the parameters to somehow explain away why red state schools tend to be cheaper than blue state schools because they refuse to acknowledge that liberal America owns the high educational costs for the most part. All these shockingly expensive universities, public or private = democratic strongholds. Not just that, but landslide democratic strongholds. [/quote]

Doesn't really change the point- people who think rising tuitions only happen in red states, or that it's the fault of Republicans, especially in a thread that is about NORTHWESTERN, a PRIVATE college whose tuition has nothing to do with state funding, are just plain wrong and revealing themselves as ignorant, partisan hacks. And when they're presented with facts, the ol' "that's different" comes out.[/quote]
