What's Michigan State Like (I'm-out-of-state)

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Over the past two years, the name MSU kept coming up in my mind and my teacher was a professor there for a few years, so I googled the college and checked out the site and really liked it so I applied October 12 (3 weeks ago.) Judging that I'm from Florida (raised up to 7 in Rhode Island), what is it like to go to MSU being from Florida (besides the cold), what is the student body like? How is the sociology program? I want to know as much as I can...and when do we get our acceptance decision? Im so anixous :)</p>

<p>PS: How much f. aid can I get cause out of state tuition is 30,000, and my parents made less than that on our last income tax.</p>

<p>Thank You</p>

<p>Sorry, but you can’t expect to get anywhere close to the financial aid needed from an OOS public. </p>

<p>OOS publics charge higher tuition to OOS students for a reason. It wouldn’t make much sense to then cover it up with aid.</p>

<p>Except for UVA and UNC, out of state publics don’t give their aid to help OOS students with the high costs to go there.</p>

<p>All you’d get is maybe a $5550 federal grant and a $5500 student loan. You would have about $20k per year uncovered.</p>

<p>What are your stats? If they’re high enough, some OOS publics might give some merit scholarships.</p>

<p>Can you get Bright Futures in Florida?</p>

<p>Even if not, if you’re looking for a huge, anonymous state university with moderate admission difficulty, tuition at UCF would be $5,000 instead of $30,000 at Michigan State.</p>

<p>Wow! I didn’t know UCF was so affordable.</p>
