<p>Also, during the University Scholars weekend my D and I attended I believe I understood the finacial aid people to say their policy is for out of State students I believe if you can windepartmental or other in university scholarships to equal the instate cost you get automatically switched to in-state tuition. But check this out for yourself in case I misunderstood or they change the policy! </p>
<p>Also, their honors program is top notch with lots of great perks like Housing, tickets to their famed football games, and other stuff.</p>
<p>There is a similar program for in-state students, too.</p>
