SUNY Purchase Tuition?

<p>I was doing some research on SUNY Purchase’s tuition price and have come to the conclusion that the in-district/in-state tuition is very much lower than the out-of-state tuition. </p>

<p>I live in Connecticut, which isn’t New York (obviously), but the town I live in is neighbors with Purchase, NY. It literally takes 8 minutes, by car, to get to the SUNY Purchase campus. When I went there one day for a visit day, I spoke with an admissions counselor and he said they do give a discount to people who live in Fairfield county because we are so close. </p>

<p>My question is, do I qualify for the in-district tuition because I live so close?</p>

<p>Not that I know of… You are out of state and ineligible for SUNY instate tuition, not matter how close you are. There are people who live way, way closer than I do who attend Binghamton and don’t receive instate tuition because they live in NJ or PA. This is a question you need to ask directly to the Purchase financial aid office, and if it’s true, they will tell you how to get it.</p>

<p>But no, just because you are close, does not mean you get a discount.</p>

<p>And the reason you do not get a discount is because you don’t pay taxes which gel run the schools.</p>

<p>The admission counselor was kinda correct:
PT not FT: OOS>Fairfield>In-State

<p>But that’s only for part-time, non matriculated students. So unless the OP is not going for a degree and is taking a summer class or something, then there is no discount.</p>
