And what the fuck kind of concept is "out of state" tuition anyways? Seriously?
Huh? You and your family didn't pay the taxes that allow for the in-state rates. Why should you be able to move there and take advantage?
Also, if you were in CA why not just go to one of the fifty UCs or CSUs?
- At best, it's for the state to make money in the long term by reducing the brain-drain of great students moving to other states.
- At worst, it's for the university to make more money short-term via price discrimination, by operating under the assumption that people who travel further often tend to have more money to spend than those who stay in state.
Yes, because my primary motivation for moving to Nebraska (from California) was to "take advantage". You got me.
I attended three colleges in California. I'm not sure what the point of your last sentence was/is.
How do they determine if you are from "out of state"?
Surely you can find a way around it - i.e. just lie and say your family just moved to said state right after you graduated HS, etc.
I lived in an area where even the cost of rent, exceeded what one could make at the low income, part-time jobs available in that area.
