using the Cal State system. That's considered way below the U.C. system
“Way below” is an exaggeration. All of the UCs are pretty hard to get into now. In some fields it might even make more sense to go to a CSU.

+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.
I don't disagree. I had investigated several CSU campuses while helping my daughter research options. San Jose State seemed like a really nice place to go to school. San Diego State (in the National Championship game for basketball this year!) and Long Beach State are popular from what I can tell as well. That said, didn't the Cal States just recently announce no one from OOS would be considered?
But, speaking as a Californian, you really don't want your kid going to a Cal STate. You want them to go to a U.C. school and those are getting increasingly difficult to get into. The Cal States won't get you into a good grad school

um, getting into UNC much easier in state than UVA in state Like 43.1 vs. 26.3
Not if you live in Chapel Hill, Durham, Cary, Raleigh or Charlotte.
Yup. We live in Chapel Hill and know so many kids with great stats who didn't get in to UNC. It's much easier if you live somewhere else in NC, but then you have to live somewhere else in NC.

Make sure you ask the school how long you need to live in the state for in-state tuition. It might be a year or more.
