State universities if you're a resident of the state don't cost $20k/yr. Mine cost me $4k/yr.

Which state are you in? Even the cheapest state schools here in PA are closer to 4k/semester.

California. Attended California State Universities. They have gone up a bit since I graduated about 7 years ago but not that much.

Average for all CSU's - $5,285

Believe it or not PA has one of the highest rates for in-state tuition. The per credit hour rate for my post 9/11 G.I. bill is based on the highest in-state tuition for a state school. Last time I checked the per credit hour rate for PA was about $900 while in California it was around $300. If I didn't already know better I probably would have guessed that it was the other way around.

When I went to Georgia State (started in 2002) it cost about $4k/yr (not that I paid any of that, I made about $6k a year after tuition and fees from scholarships).

Now that my little brother is going there, it costs him about $10k a year in tuition and fees.
