Exactly, people do not realize it is insanely cheap for good in state students. Sure some can’t get into UGA, GT, UF or FSU but other good options and for those that do it is so cheap and even free for mainly.

+1, can't believe that this hasn't been mentioned until now. UW grads pretty much have a monopoly on the PNW job market because east coast transplants don't go to WA (they go to CA) and UW is the only good school in the PNW. Even the satellite Bothell and Tacoma campuses perform pretty exceptionally on post-grad salaries according to Scorecard, not terribly difficult to get into either

In addition to Michigan, I would consider Iowa. Literally all hs graduates in Iowa are automatically admitted to all three state universities, and get increasing merit depending on HS GPA and test scores. Like a 3.5 GPA gets two years free tuition at U Iowa.
I also agree DC tag is such a great benefit and frankly DC residency itself is a unique hook for college admissions.
+1 for SUNY/CUNY -- I think because it's a great system rather than a singular great school they get overlooked. But really great options for NY students.
CT residents can go to NY schools in-state tuition
Source? Maybe some kind of tuition exchange thing in useless majors, but even that I doubt.

CUNY is only a boon if your family already lives in NYC & your kid could commute. If there’s on-campus forms there, they’re certainly not plentiful.

+1 VA's system is unrivaled
Nope, CA is better. More choices. Yes, the state is bigger, but that's why there are more choices.
The California colleges are better than the VA colleges. Just UCLA and Berkeley alone knock UVA out of the water. And then there's the others in CA which rival it.
True, but very few can get into UCLA or Berkeley anyway.
But there are ten other schools in the Top 50 publics in CA, and only 1 in TX.
+1 OP asked about in state options, not just the top one or two.
In that regard, CA cannot be beat. There are at least 20 decent publics to choose from in CA. Competition may be tougher, but you still have 20+ to choose from, both in norcal and socal.
I'd love to hear numbers 15-20.

+1 best in state options. Tons of schools to choose from, and it's relatively inexpensive, though the col is expensive.
Typically, a state with *a lot* of really great in state options will have higher taxes. That's how the states pay for these great in state options.
Really? I'd probably put Texas right in line behind California with Virginia next. Neither are particularly high Tax. Connecticut and Massachusetts are very high tax and have relatively terrible offerings. The same goes for NJ and Illinois
TX does have a ton of state schools. Most only know and care about UT and A&M, MAYBE TX Tech?
That said, I wouldn't go anywhere near TX at this point and can't believe I was almost talked into moving there more than a decade ago. Their state legislature is BSC.
IMO, CA has way more decent in state options than VA or TX. Obviously, the larger states will have more options.
CA has 9 UCs, 23 CSUs, and at least half of those CSUs are pretty decent in state options. They have good ROI. So, you have 20 decent to great in state options.
California is more than 6 times the size of Virginia and Virginia has at least 4 decent to great opinions, so proportionally CA is no different than VA
But VA doesn't have the second tier (between UC and Community College level) of Cal State schools. So the systems aren't comparable at all. Very few Virginia parents would want their kids to go to Cal Sate schools. That's where the kids who couldn't get into good four year schools go
If you call the top tier UVA, VT, W&M, JMU, GMU, then VCU, CNU, Mary Washington, Radford, Longwood, UDU, Norfolk State, Virginia State, VMI, and even UVA Wise slot in between the top and community college
GMU and JMU are not on the same tier as UVA, WM and VT STEM
