<p>total tuition and fees in $$ for in-state and OOS if you please?</p>
<p><a href=“Indiana University”>Indiana University;
<p>it depends on your program, etc. …</p>
<p>I am not a student but I do have prospective students looking at IU OOS for next year…</p>
<p>what is approx room and board so I can estimate total COA with this increase? thank you…</p>
<p>This is such an idiotic move. I do not see why when the state stops givin IU money they raise OOS tuition. OOS students already pay more than cost and subsidize it for IS students; when the state stops funding OOS students are stuck picking up more of the bill.</p>
<p>This is not at all fair.</p>
<p>At least looking at the chart linked in #3 above, the overall in-state increase is 5.5% and the out-of-state increase is 6.6%. Given that IU is a state university, a 1% difference in increase between residents of that state and non-residents does not seem to single out out-of-state students.</p>
<p>I am arguing that because the state of Indiana pays no part of OOS tuition, OOS tuition should not be raised at all when the state of Indiana decides to lower funding.</p>
<p>Sounds fair to me. State funding is only one piece of the overall financial picture. Once they know that number and know the total expenses they plan, they plug the hole with tuition and OOS will usually be hit harder. If you don’t like it look around–most cost as much or more OOS. This year 5-7% is very much in line. Washington is going up 16%. Cal schools–maybe 20%+</p>
<p>As long as U of Illinois remains so expensive and difficult to get into for instate students, IU can raise OOS tuition and fees and still not be hurt by it, as the majority of IU OOS are from Illinois. The real OOS increases came when the automatic scholarships started about six years ago. The first few years after that, IU had 10-11% annual OOS increases, which really ballooned the OOS rates.</p>
<p>I wonder if Indiana residents recognize the phenomenal bargain that their state universities offer them. Even without any of the automatic scholarships, to be able to attend IUB for $20Kish including room & board, is a huge deal! I wish the State of Illinois had a clue as to how to achieve such success for its’ residents. But that will never happen here.</p>
<p>When my son chose IU in 2007, after taking into account the Faculty Award of 7K at that time, the difference in cost between IU and Illinois was negligible. We did know that IL’s tuition would be frozen for the 4 years, while IU’s would continue to grow, but we still believed he was getting a good deal at IU.</p>
<p>Now, I’m not so sure we would make the same decision. Families each have their own financial tipping points, and especially in today’s economy, if you are looking at a COA over $40K in 2 years, some will decide not to even look at IU because of the price. </p>
<p>I believe the highest automatic scholarship is $9K (please feel free to correct, if this isn’t still true). So, even if your OOS student earns that discount, your end price is still over $30K. Think forward and add in future projected tuition increases and that will be enough to dissuade a lot of OOS families. </p>
<p>And frankly, for many IL families, the University of IL is even out of the question from a price standpoint. Which leaves us with only a couple of viable second-tier public choices (ISU and UIC, in my estimation.) </p>
<p>I’m sure IU weighs all of these factors when they come up with their tuition formulas. Obviously, their first allegiance has to be to their own residents. I just fear that they are closing in on a tipping point that will eliminate a viable option for IL students. I am so glad that my son was able to graduate from IU before the cost became prohibitive.</p>
<p>I wish IU would lock tuition. I was angered by the raises because I figured my 9k scholarship would cover my in-state tuition for at least a few years, or that it would be only raised by 100 or so. I know its only 500 dollars, but that’s one less month of rent. I love IU, but if I had known tuition would be well over 10k by my junior year, I would have chosen to go to one of the other schools that offered me a “free tuition” gift.
I know this sounds incredibly whiny compared to out-of-staters, and I especially feel for Illinois residents. I can’t imagine having to pay what they pay for in-state tuition.</p>
<p>Illinois has been exporting good students to other Big 10 schools for many decades. First it was Wisconsin and Michigan and when they got harder to get into and more expensive it seemed Iowa and Indiana became very popular along with Colorado which was always a target for the more fun minded. Now UMinn is recruiting OOS kis with low tuition. We’ll see how long they can afford that. And that does not even count all those from Illinois striving to get into the most selective privates. Illinois is pretty much the NJ of the midwest with many more students than colleges people want to attend in the state.</p>
<p>I know the Kelley degree has gone up in prestige today compared to five years ago with the automatic scholarships and the high achievers from suburban Chicago that Kelley and the automatic scholarships attract. The average Kelley student’s SAT CR+Math, including ACT scores (all Illinois hs students take the ACT twice) converted to SAT scores, has gone up at least 100 points the last five years, which can be attributed, more than anything else, to the automatic scholarships attracting smart Illinois students. This has helped make Kelley an incredible bargain for in-state kids. None of that would be possible if there were not so many problems with public universities in Illinois. ISU and UIC just don’t compare to IU; and UIUC costs nearly the same as IU for Illinois kids, but UIUC is very difficult to get into. Illinois/suburban Chicago has massive numbers of smart, affluent high school kids compared to Indiana, and many of them wind up going to Indiana and Purdue, benefiting both schools.</p>
