Out-of-state vs. In-state

I’m a resident of Missouri and I was wondering if you think it’s worth going out of state to a better ranked, better academic university that’ll be 2-3 time the price as an in-state public school? I really don’t want to stay in state, but I’m wondering if it’ll be better for me in the long run.
IN-STATE - Missouri St. or U. of Missouri
OUT-OF-STATE - U. of Florida, U. of Texas, Ohio State or Ole Miss

Why wouldn’t you consider private institutions as well, everything on CC indicates they can be cheaper and better academically for many candidates?

What about Wash U?

Do your parents have the $$ to pay for you to attend out of state?

I want a large school so publicis he way i would want to go

don’t have the qualifications for wash u

they said they can help but they can’t pay for all of it

If you don’t want to stay in-state, take a look at the MSEP schools, where you pay no more than 150% of in-state tuition. There are some good options like U Kansas and Kansas State that are only slightly more expensive than Mizzou.

Ha ha. I know kids who went to U Missouri, Mizzou from OOS, so what to say?

Start out with what your family is able and willing to pay.
