<p>No they aren’t, financially at least. But WVU is a haven for kids from the northeast who can’t cut it at their state institutions, and in some cases their OOS tuition is less than in-state at other places. In fact, if the University of Southern Pennsylvania stuck it to the OOSers tuition-wise like other schools do, their enrollment would drop by half. OP’s son, with his stats, can do way, way better. I would look at Ohio University’s Gateway Award program. S1 applied there and got $$$, but decided on Marshall University in the end - they have a specialized program in his major that OU didn’t, and the in-state FA was better.</p>
