“You can generally find superior programs OOS. You will have the opportunity to spend time with people and places different from your home area when you attend school OOS.”
This may be the case for some…but I certainly don’t think this is always true. If it’s a lot cheaper to go in-state, it might be more likely that you can study abroad for a semester or two…or even the summer. I guess I don’t believe in insisting one way or another. Keep your options open and then pick the best when considering ALL the factors.
BTW, I went in state and ended up living OOS. There are no hard and fast rules here.
