Pitt overtakes Penn State as most expensive public university

Neither school “hates” in-state students. The high in-state costs occur because the state government does not subsidize the flagship system to the same extent that most other states do.

<p>Lets just say both love OOS students and leave it at that. They can raise their out of state tuition to 40k like UMich and heavily subsidize the in-state tuition. Then again, PSU and Pitt aren’t regarded as highly and this could lead to both colleges being 90% in-state like California and Texas schools. </p>

It also doesn’t account for the upper-division tuition increase at Penn State, which doesn’t occur at Pitt; if accounted for, that would reverse the order.

<p>Whattt ? I thought all schools had upper-division tuition increase.

<p>If you are doing Business or engineering, it looks like PSU is still cheaper.</p>
