[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The cost of living is significantly lower in red states. Lower salaries, lower construction costs, lower HVAC bills, etc. That accounts for pretty much all of the discrepancy.[/quote] +1 CA UC schools are pricey now due to the col. It's not because FL prioritizes higher ed more than CA. That's funny.[/quote] Really? Florida’s cost of living is totally average, yet in state tuition at UF and FSU runs around $5-6k/year. And I’m sure the HVAC bills there are through the roof :) [/quote] The COL in Gainesville and Tallahassee is much, much lower than any city in CA. Are you nuts?[/quote] How are you so sure the tuition difference can be attributed to COL alone? There are plenty of midwestern state schools in cheap towns with significantly higher tuition than FL schools (although they’re still a bargain). Plus, FL schools in larger cities are similarly dirt cheap. The prior governor also eliminated automatic tuition increases and the FL state leg hasn’t increased tuition in like a decade. CA raised state school tuition pretty dramatically fairly recently to deal with budget cuts and shortfalls. This is an area where the state government’s priorities and budget really have an impact.
