Is Penn State worth the OOS tuition?

<p>Guess this is an old post, but I’m interested in attending PSU UPark this fall, and they have one of the most notable communications school in america, the internships are unparalleled by most other schools I’m looking at. However, the price tag for us OOS students is daunting, especially when my parents have three other kids at home, one of which is in college, the other 2 gearing themselves up for school. My EFC on the FAFSA wasn’t incredibly high, lower than 10k we’ll say, but I’m still really nervous the price tag is going to come back 25+ which is when my parents are going to draw the line I think. Is it worth going here for the networking and amazing reputation, especially for my field of interest? A lot of my family is alumni so they are rather biased which doesn’t totally help, so any outside opinion is immensely appreciated! Thanks :)</p>
