Well UCB is free to in-staters because it is in the UC system, but that is one of many reasons that Cali is broke right now.



The UC’s, including Berkeley, charge no tuition for in-state students. However, mandatory fees are in the high four figures annually.

UMich is similar in cost to UIUC. Almost no different.



For someone like yourself who is in engineering, UIUC is indeed almost as expensive as Michigan.

In majors which are charged the base tuition rate, such as most LAS majors, UIUC OOS tuition is only in the mid-20’s annually. Michigan’s OOS tuition is in the low 30’s annually.

Also, UIUC freezes tuition at the rate for the year a student originally enters, while Michigan does not.

OTOH, Ann Arbor is probably somewhat more expensive to live in than Champaign-Urbana.
