No. All universities are institutions of higher education that offer degrees in many subject areas. A state university gets funding from the state it is in; residents of that state get big breaks in the amount of tuition they must pay. Even out-of-state residents will pay less to go there than they would to a private university. If you're looking for a good education at a very reasonable price, check out the State University system in your own state.

A state university is a type of university: a university run by the state.
Almost all universities receive government funding. Even private ones. They receive very large federal grants and sometimes money from the state they are located in.
State universities get money from the state, but the real difference is that they are run by the state. Usually the state government appoints some trustees to oversee their state university system.

A university is generally a place of higher learning that might have undergraduate colleges as well as graduate programs. A wider variety of disciplines might be included. So state universities are universities, but there are also plenty of private, non-state universities out there that are universities as well. For example I went to Vanderbilt. It is a university that is composed of several schools/colleges - the school of music, the school of arts and science, the engineering school, medical school, and other groups. So it qualifies as a university. It has nothing to do with whether it is state or private.

A university is a school that offers 4-year degrees in different fields and is made up of different colleges (college of science, engineering, liberal arts, etc.) A state university is a university that gets government funding, so the tuition is less.
