    I mean you can probably still pull of a State University at $50k a year, right? I graduated highschool in 2010 so my data is definitely out of date but how much can a public school cost!?

      According to US News & World Report, the national average cost of in-state tuition is $12,436 and the national average cost of out-of-state tuition is $29,815. So it sure is possible (on average), but just barely. I also randomly checked Florida State University and their tuition is $6,517 for in-state and $21,683 for out-of-state students so it’s a relative bargain.

        three’s a VAST range in there and fsu is not a good school.

        the real point of college is even less about the paper and more about the networking. that’s what you pay for at a good school.
