Yes an out of state college considers their local taxpayers first...

Really depends on the situation, and schools involved. State schools are typically cheaper than private colleges/universities. State schools are always cheaper for residents of that state. So in a way yes it would cost more money to go to a state school in a different state than you live, as compared to a state school in your state. However as I said above it really depends on each situation, I'm sure some out of state schools can still be cheaper than a state school in your state. You also have to factor in financial aid, a state college in your state may end up being the cheapest tuition, however an out of state school may want you more for some reason, and may have more endowment they are able to work with and give out scholarships with. So in the end a more expensive school could cost you less out of pocket.

Normally, yes. States want to keep their good students in state so they offer cheaper tuition to in-state residents. Most states have some type of financial assistance that only residents qualify for based on what high school you went to and things like that. Take a look at www.fastweb.com. You can get info on schools and scholarships.

Below is in state fees for Louisiana Tech University.
Credit Hours On-Campus Extension
12 or more $1,291.00 ======================================
Below is out of state fee for the same school.
12 or more $3,291.00 ======================================
The "12" reflects the number of hours credit. So you see there is a big difference.
Note: I graduated from this school in 1996 and the cost for 12 hours was $550/quarter.

If you're going to a public school that is usually the case because the state subsidizes tuition for in-state students. The exception is grad school, where everyone usually pays the same amount. Private schools charge everyone the same price regardless of where they live.

Most state colleges and universities charge more for out of state students than in state students.

Generally, it does cost more to go out of state--it can sometimes be almost double! However, it depends on what state you live in. I live in Ohio, with the 2nd highest in-state tuition in the country. In some cases, it's actually cheaper for me to go out of state.

Usually, however in Oklahoma you can attend an out of state college bordering the state of Oklahoma for in state tuition prices if your GPA is kept at a certain requirement.

When you choose to go to school out of state, you pay an out of state tuition. Always more expensive than in state.
