<p>As you know, buy the time you research and publish, info can be a few years old. With tuition rising 15% a year for the past 3 years, the info is going to get old fast. BUT, everyone else is raising tuition, so in general, FSU might move down a few slots, but the overall trend is going to keep FSU in the top 50 for quite a while. </p>
<p>OF COURSE tuition for 2011 is not going to match his figures. That info was not available until 6 weeks ago. But with UC’s going up 10-12%, and many state U’s going up 8-10% <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/1175122-tuition-increases-2011-2012-a.html?highlight=tuition[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/1175122-tuition-increases-2011-2012-a.html?highlight=tuition</a>, the relative placing will not drop much. </p>
<p>And the state legislature’s hope that raising tuition 15% a year will get SUS’s to the mean in 7-10 years is not going to happen now that most states U’s are going up 8-10% to cover state deficits. It will be more like 20 years. We were ranked the 48th most expensive state for state tuition last I checked. FSU remains a great bargain.</p>
