<p>Going back to the schools in Seattle… The UW is known to NOT provide much financial aid to out of state students. So, keep that in mind. On the other hand Seattle University, because it is private, is reasonably generous with financial aid. In other words, it probably would cost you considerably less to attend Seattle University than UW.</p>
<p>Many state universities are using out of state students to make up for budget cuts by the state government. UW appears to be one of them.</p>
