One thing I would point out is that the data from OP’s post is from 2014-2015. That may not matter for many schools, but for my flagship (University of Kentucky), there has been a dramatic shift since that time.
Over the course of just a few years, financial aid shifted from 90% based on merit to 35% merit. Favoring need-based aid has kept TCOA relatively low for incomes below $48k, according to NCES.
TCOA is still not quite as low as some other states’, but KY is poor, and has just gone through a costly construction boom on campus that was long overdue.
Also, regarding Honors colleges, UK’s is somewhat new, and seems to be different than some others discussed here. The focus is on uplifting in-state students. Eight of nine applicants will be rejected, and some OOS students have expressed frustration when they are admitted elsewhere, but rejected here. High stats OOS kids aren’t the priority.
