<p>In State 5% increase
OOS 9% increase to 22.3K</p>
<p>While it wouldn't have influenced my final decision to attend IU, I think that Universities should tell us-and our parents- the cost of tuition before the May 1 enrollment deadline.</p>
<p>Yeah, it really IS unfair not to have the price set in time for people to make their decisions on where to attend. I can see my husband and I will be working even more overtime this year... wonderful... :(</p>
<p>Seems like there is just nowhere (of high quality) easy to afford when looking at out-of-state tuition. Comparing the $22,316 that Indiana University at Bloomington will be charging for out-of-state students next year to some other Big 10 schools' OOS tuition next year :</p>
<p>Univ of Michigan: $29,000 (Freshman/Soph), $31,000 (Junior/Senior) (excludes fees)
Univ of Illinois: $21,000 (but $26,000 if majoring in business) (excludes fees)
Ohio State University: $20,500 (excludes fees)
Univ of Minnesota: $21,000 (includes fees) (but these are 2006-2007 rates--and are for 26 units per year only--additional fees are charged for additional units)--this is likely to go to $23,000 after they make their yearly adjustment.</p>
<p>On the other hand, these are quite low compared to some top private schools (NYU, Georgetown, USC, Boston College, Boston University) and OOS tuition at other top publics (Univ of California at Berkeley, UCLA, and Univ of Virginia).</p>
<p>It is amazing how expensive college costs are. But then I'm amazed at how housing prices and medical costs have gone up also..</p>
