<p>Hi everybody. I'm new here, and I have a question about tuition.</p>
<p>I heard (from a friend's older brother for whom this supposedly worked...so it's kinda sketchy) that if a public university does not offer a particular major (aerospace engineering) in your home state (South Carolina), that you can go to a university (Georgia Tech) and get in-state tuition.</p>
<p>Is this true, or has anyone else heard anything about this? My friend, who I trust, insists that his brother got in-state tuition for architecture at Georgia Tech because no public university in South Carolina offers it. I haven't heard anything at all about this on any websites or pamphlets, though, which leads me to believe it isn't true.</p>
<p>It can be true. You need to research this. There are certain states that have deals with other states to provide state level or revised tuition scales for residents who want a program that is not offered in their state. Georgia Tech does participate in a lot of those programs. Don't know if architecture or aerospace engineer fits the bill. Start searching on the internet as there are sites that list the schools that offer this reciprocity. It is true, but I don't know if your particulars would meet the requirements.</p>
<p>As stated, the reciprocity agreements do exist. They may or may not be in-state rates, they can be instate plus a percentage, but definately lower than out of state.</p>
<p>Ah! There's hope after all. Thanks, guys. I will definitely find out what South Carolina and Georgia's deal is.</p>
<p>Here's a link to the Academic Common Market site. As far as I can tell, a SC student can't qualify to go to Ga Tech at in-state rates for aerospace engineering, but there are some other programs that could get you there, such as polymer and fiber engineering, or nuclear and radiological engineering.</p>
