"Raise Our Tuition" Say SUNY Students

[northeastmom]

<p>nysmile, UNC-CH is nearly impossible to get into from OOS. There is high demand to go there, but UNCs limit their enrollment to certain % (maybe 18%, do not recall exactly). As far as I know you cannot compare UNC-CH to any SUNY, but I will let those who are familiar with both debate that one. Many of the other UNCs are reasonably priced for OOS. Tuition, R&B at UNC-Wilmington is about 21,900 for out of state students. Florida State is about 26,600 for tuition and R&B. These are sticker prices. I have not researched these schools for scholarships. There could be less expensive schools in FLA too. I have not looked. I would not look at public Us in FLA just bc in my mind my money is paying in part for all of those bright futures scholarships.</p>

<p>Editing this bc I cross posted with nysmile:</p>

<p>Perhaps I misinterpreted this by Muffy in thinking that one might not graduate in 4 years, but I am unsure whether she was referring to a SUNY or to Rutgers:</p>

I looked on the Albany website, it does look like it is only $25,000 OOS if you throw in the books, transport and personal and $22,000 for only tuition, fees, room and board. So not a big difference from Rutgers in-state?</p>

<p>I’ve noticed that most other states charge a lot for the flagship and a lot less for the regional state colleges; I guess that’s an advantage in NY that all cost the same if you can get into the more competitive colleges.</p>

<p>But conditions must be awful if the poor kids want tuition raised. I heard it is hard to graduate in 4 years b/c of course cuts; that negates low tuition.
