As moooop stated the schools listed have great OOS tuition deals. It is fairly difficult to get into A&M from OOS and with good merit. S17 from big urban TX area went OOS to Kansas State. He wanted to be OOS. The deal we got there was great. He had stats to get into lots of higher ranked schools but chose this one because of fit and the deals he got were great! Not a well-known location but he loves it, has a blast, has done well and loves his professors, friends and the environment. He says it feels a lot smaller than the 23,000 student number.
