I'm an out-of-state student so my tuition and room/board will be more expensive and cost is a pretty big concern for me, especially since I plan on graduate studies in either medicine or physicial therapy. Still, I love the school and am definitely considering it. What I want to know is whether CSU is worth the extra money I would be spending (when compared to my own state schools).
That's a tough question to answer not knowing what the price difference is betw. CSU and your state schools. And, do you like your state schools? My D was recently accepted at CSU. We live in MA and she hasn't visited CSU yet. What impressed you most about CSU?
It's hard to describe why I like it. There's so many little things that add up and make it seem like a very good fit for me. I just wish they gave a little more aid to out-of-state students but it is a state school so I can understand why they don't.
