Is Umich really even worth it?

I think the thing that frustrates so many parents of OOS students is the fact phenom of in-state/out-of-state fees. But that’s what you get when you have a country both founded on state rights and a free market preference –

</p>

<p>One of the many myths I’ve not touched on, is this myth that IS students deserve a “break or discount” due to all the State money that funneled to their institution - this may have been the case, 30 or 40 years ago, when States largely funded their flagships… but, in 2010, for example - and in Michigan’s case, State funds ONLY exceeded Federal funds by 40 million, or about $2,000 per undergrad.</p>

<p>So, the myth that IS earned the right to discounted tuition? is largely debunked.</p>
