[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They aren’t. Colleges in red and blue states have a similar price tags. But, smaller colleges cost more than huge colleges. Numbers below are instate, 2020-2021 SY. U of Florida is cheap at $6032. But besides that, there is little to no tuition difference between Similarly sized schools in red and blue states. Virginia: VT. $14,124 JMU $12, 638 ODU $10,800 VCU $15,319 CNU $14,024 UMW $13,800 Vs: Red States Clemson: $15,558 U of S. Carolina $12,688 UGA $12,068 GT $12,852 UT $13,244 UAB $11,620 Ole Miss, $9028 U LA $11,958 Auburn $11,826 U Indiana $11,333 Vs Blue States U Wisconsin $10,720 U of M, just over $15,000 UMD $10,955 U Washington $12,076 UC Bolder $12,496 The NE State schools are more like 15k-16k. But like UVA and WM, they are much smaller. U Delaware $15,020, but only 18k undergrad students, about the same size as UVA. In comparison WM is 6500 undergrad and UGA 30k undergrad. [/quote] You’re ignoring very generous merit aid programs. For example, FL, GA, & AL all guarantee merit scholarships to any in state student with good grades. Any student in GA with a 3.0 gpa is eligible for the Hope Scholarship. Any GA student with a 3.7 gpa is eligible for the Zell Miller Scholarship, which is full tuition. I have a relative, who was a good student, but not “perfect” and would have been full pay at my other school, attending Georgia Tech for the cost of room and board. It’s an amazing deal. AL & FL are similar. I’m not aware of any similar program in Virginia. [/quote] The "blue state" state schools like UW, UWisc, UMich, UMD do NOT need to give merit to attract instate students. Getting into all of those schools in-state is extremely difficult, especially for engineering/CS, even with high scores/gpa.[/quote] What? Those midwestern universities fill out their enrollments with OOS students. Over 50% of the Michigan student body is from OOS, and the in state acceptance rate is about 40%. About 40% of students at Wisconsin are from OOS & the in state acceptance rate is around 65%. UGA is only about 25% OOS & has a 40% acceptance rate in state. UF is slightly bigger than UMich, is less than 20% OOS, and still has a 40% in state acceptance rate. GaT is about 40% OOS, but their acceptance rate was jut 18% last year overall. [/quote]
