There's no way state schools currently cost $40k. Maybe $15k.

Easy federal aid money certainly helps push up the price tag. It's effectively a subsidy.




UO -> In-state: $26,000, out of state: $49,000

OSU -> In-state: $26,000, out of state: $45,000

PSU -> In-state: $30,000+, out of state: $43,000

MSU -> In-state: $27,000, out of state: $51,000

UM (Michigan) -> In-state: $29,000, out of state: $60,000

UM (Miami) -> $64,306


UM (Miami) is actually a private school, and not state-run.

These prices look like they include room and board and such after spot checking a couple, e.g. http://undergrad.osu.edu/cost-and-aid/basic-costs gives in-state tuition for an incoming freshman of 11K per year.

You can argue that talking about tuition alone is misleading, but it wasn't included 15 years ago either, and yet 10K/year for in-state is around where things were back then too, IIRC.


11K is still a lot of money. I paid for all of my school on my own as I went through it, but if it was 11K I would have had to get loans!
