<p>I am not applying to out of state state colleges. I assume they will give me no or little financial aid, and I could not handle the cost. I would do better at a private college out of state that does have financial aid. Therefore, I was not planning on applying to these sorts of colleges. Is this all correct?</p>
<p>And if so, can somebody explain why the University of Virginia has 66% of its students from out of state. Is everybody paying full price?</p>
<p>1) UVA offers more aid to OOS students than most other public Us. Not all of those OOS students are paying full price.</p>
<p>2) UVA has a good academic reputation, and even at full OOS rates is less expensive than many private peer institutions.</p>
<p>UVA meets 100% of need for OOS students. The only other public to do this is UNC-CH. Some other publics do offer OOS student significant merit and/or need based aid, you just have to research them one by one.</p>
<p>2 notable state school systems that give little to none are the CA and Michigan state schools.</p>
<p>Whoa up there! UVA is 70% IN-STATE enrollment (actually 69.1% undergrad in 2009-2010), not OOS. Perhaps they have a larger percentage of OOS applicants, but UVA is specifically limited in OOS students by state law. That percentage of OOS students is rather similar to Virginia Tech, Penn State-UP, Pitt, Michigan while UNC-CH has about 25% OOS students.</p>
<p>I would not say that an OOS public university is necessarily the best value, but there is obviously an attraction for many students. Further, in MANY circumstances, the OOS public university still provides certain programs and majors at a very competitive cost compared to even very generous privates. There really is no universal definition that OOS publics are more costly than private schools. Each applicant and/or family really must look and make that determination themselves.</p>
<p>Oh right I messed up on some things. I was rather tired.
I’ll apply to UVA then, if they really do offer so good financial aid.</p>
<p>But University of Vermont has 66% of undergrads from out of state. Can anybody explain this percent?</p>
<p>Also, does anybody know about financial aid for OOS at Wake Forest University?</p>
