[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can also be because of a strength in a particular area. For example, Indiana U is strong in music. Most of the colleges that are as good or better than IU in this area are private colleges, particularly conservatories. If your kid wants to major in music but you want them to have the full college experience, IU's only rival among public universities is UMichigan, which is a harder admit.[/quote] I agree that usually students go to a different state’s big public university because 1) it specializes in something they want, or 2) they didn’t get in to the university or specific program in their own state. Looking around at my friends and neighbors it’s mostly this, rather than a desire to go far away. Finally, my own child went to a neighboring state and got merit aid that brought tuition almost exactly to our in-state rate. This is common too.[/quote]
