Cost of Southern Schools

<p>Hello parents - </p>

<p>I’m a junior in high school and have been browsing through schools to try and find some that fit me not only academically but also financially. In doing so, I noticed a general trend and I’m curious to know if there’s a reason for it. During my research, I noticed that southern public schools, such as a Louisiana State or Auburn, were much cheaper for an out of state student in comparison to schools in other states - some are even cheaper than some of my in-state schools!</p>

<p>Can anyone think of a reason for this? Thanks =)</p>

<p>Not only that, many southern state schools want northern students badly enough to give you a scholarship that brings the cost down to the instate rate! My neighbor got $$$ to go to USC (Carolina) and it ended up being lower than her instate public college.</p>
