<p>^^Agree. Check financial aid page and link for non-resident scholarships. You are kind of in between scholarships - one that gives tuition reduction and one that gives in-state tuition rates so any bump would help.</p>
<p>If OP is comparing based on money, it’s hard to beat NC schools. In-state tuition for UNC is around 8k and for ECU around 6k…as compared to USC in-state (if you can get it) for close to 11k.</p>
