Paying full OOS tuition might be cheaper than paying instate. My daughter’s OOS tuition at Wyoming is the same price as my nephew’s instate at CU, but where I really come out ahead is in the r&b and incidentals. Daughter’s football tickets are included in her student fees while nephew pays $$$ for his. COL in Laramie is cheaper.
I think Pennsylvania residents can find cheaper OOS options. Some states charge a lot to their residents.
