@NASA2014 OOS privates generally cost about the same as in state privates of the same tier, unless you’re referring to the price of travel/plane tickets, which in the grand scheme of things, cost relatively little compared to the overall cost of a school. When people ask if CC kids can afford OOS schools, they usually mean OOS PUBLIC schools, where OOS kids will have a tuition surcharge and virtually no chance at need-based and usually merit-based financial aid, which is reserved for instate students, because public universities are funded by state taxes.
