To be fair to the public schools in all states, it’s important to remember that they are PUBLIC schools. That is, they are subsidized by long-term taxpayer dollars to make education more affordable for the citizens (and their children) of that PARTICULAR state. Programs like WUE can help take the edge off by reducing the cost for out of state students whose states participate in the exchange, but few relatively California schools participate. Certainly none of the most popular ones.

California is a popular education destination that barely has room in its universities for the qualified students we produce in state. OOS prices are really then just a reflection of supply and demand economics. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t. I wish that there was a better, more equitable system, but that’s for greater business minds than mine to figure out.
