Subject: If you were to move to a new state for in-state options…
Are the students who might have gone to the smaller 4 year state schools just not going anymore? Just going to community college?
We have Radford (VA in state) and Slippery Rock (PA oos) on my kiddo’s possible school list. I know another post said Radford’s enrollment had dropped a lot recently. Not sure about SRU, but they were NOT rolled up in the PennWest merger.
I was trying to get a little info earlier on why the Eastern PA merger didn’t happen, because those schools appear to be even smaller than the western ones that merged.
I have friends who went to millersville and shippensburg

West Chester is in a nice location in the Philly burbs & has low tuition; it’s been growing recently (the only PASSHE school that’s growing)
The rest of them are hanging by a thread. They’re in very low population, rural areas & aren’t competitive with other options. A bunch combined administrative functions last year. The really rural Western & North Central Pa ones probably don’t have a shot of staying open much longer. East Stroudsburg is 1.5 hours from NYC, has a town. It has frequent buses to there & is supposed to get an Amtrak stop soon. It would be sad if it shuttered, because it’s the only affordable 4-year public U in NEPA. Shippensburg has a lot of natural beauty.
Just my 2 cents

If you just want to get accepted, NY has a whole lot of decent state schools, more than VA I think, although no famous flagship.

+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.
Source? PA, for example, has pretty high taxes (especially property taxes in most jurisdictions) and their true state universities are terrible & expensive to attend.
What are Pennsylvania’s “ true” state universities? All those lesser known ones? Like Clarion. Sorry. I don’t know

+1 Florida’s in state scholarship program is amazing. UF is far and away the best school, but there are some other decent options too.

I think PP meant if you’re getting, say, a master’s in education to become a teacher. No public school is going to care where you got that degree from & UNM is super cheap to attend.

+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.
I posted above..

Source? Maybe some kind of tuition exchange thing in useless majors, but even that I doubt.
These reciprocity programs between a bunch of states are terrific and not at all for useless majors. Well worth exploring.

What a joke. They’re not giving students in those states instate tuition. Penn State & UConn are about $19k/year in tuition alone (instate) last time I checked. NY state schools charge far less than that for their instate residents. This offer is basically saying, yay, you can pay $19k/year in tuition alone OOS to go to, say, SUNY Binghamton while NY residents pay half that. I would be shocked if SUNY schools charge than $19k/year tuition OOS sticker price anyway!
All the schools on that list are the most expensive public universities in the US for their instate students.
What a PR stunt.
