1. Penn State University -- University Park, Pa. $10,856

Penn State is technically a private school that performs the functions of a public school because PA is too broken to have a real public school. So in reality, it's the least expensive private school.

We do to have state schools in PA! :| Something like 14 of them and Penn State is not one of them

:laugh: at my GF. She goes to a catholic college that costs more than the most expensive schools on that list AND has the added benefit of allowing complete retards (sub 850 SAT's) to walk out with 3.9's.....

Does that include your girlfriend?

actually... yeah..... :thumbsup:

your attempt at continuing to troll on me and pick fights with me :thumbsdown:

Penn State is a "state-related" school. Ostensibly, it functions no differently from any other public school, so there's no reason for it to be listed any other way. The out-of-state tuition for PSU is over $20k. That's not that cheap...

Pennyslvania does have "normal" public schools - West Chester, Millersville, Shippensburg, Cheyney, Edinboro, IUP, Kutztown, Bloomsburg, York and a few others that you probably never have heard of.

Frankly, I never understood why you would go to a state college in another state unless you were getting a juicy scholarship or the school was particularly well-known for the field you wish to study. NJ residents could go to Rutgers for under $10k or PSU for over $20k....and people actually GO to PSU!

QFT

Semantics of PSU being public or private aside, since it doesn't really matter because MSN sucks at providing factual information in these retarded features...

I think the main reason people go to out-of-state state-schools is because they want to get away from their high school crowd. That certainly weighed in on my decision.

QFT on MSN being useless

Wouldn't working full time while you're in college provide the same effect?

<<< went to a college closer to home than my highschool

Actually, where I'm going (PSU @ York) is closer than where they're all going (UMBC, Towson, UMCP)

But the thing is that most Marylanders like to pretend PA isn't up there - I mean, ew. The amish are humping our state. I, on the other hand, recognize the opportunity to get away from the fscktards, spend less, spend less on gas getting there, and not have to pay exhorbitant prices for housing.

That seems like a crazy reason to have to come up with an additional $10k/year!

I didn't have much trouble avoiding people from my high school. In fact the one or two people that I DID want to see, I could never seem to get together with them because we were all so busy with other things.

I have no idea, but I guarantee you're doing something wrong. It's Pennsylvania, ferchrissake.

Personally, I saved $1.5k. Which is, uh, sick.

 

[Jzero]

You saved $1.5k compared to what school? UMD?

UMBC, actually. This is all told, though. Tuition, fees, gas, time blown in traffic getting there, financial aid, work, etc. If I remember back to this time last year, all the savings comes from working instead of sitting in traffic twice a day, which is, frankly, something genius that nobody ever would have considered (except me. I hate traffic.)

Maybe they don't want to associate PSU, Temple, or Pitt (let's be honest, Lincoln U doesn't count) with the other crappy 'state schools'. I would say the best 'state school' is West Chester, but that's saying a lot.

Oh yeah, hi ace :brokenheart:

Dude I bet you there are about 100 other schools if not 1000 that cost over $30k.

List them. USC, NYU, Stanfurd, Cornell... You need 40k a year. Subtract housing and books and you got 30k.

Trinity is good.
GWU is good.
Columbia is awesome for med.
Bowdoin is a kick@$$ liberal arts school
So is Pitzer (Claremont schools).

WTF these are all very reputable colleges. I think you just don't know enough colleges =P. It's not all about Ivies and "Wannabe Ivies" (WUSTL, Stanfurd)
