Healthy Perspectives and Priorities

…….Hey Doc Fun….why charge more for out of staters? Just think of the increase the CULTURE could bring! Don’t we want an increased enrollment?

because they pay no state taxes and the in state enrollment is subsidized by taxes paid by those who live in this state . . .

Because it's a way to supplement the lower in-state cost. Now...we can debate all day long if $25k a year plus housing is worth it for out of staters, because that's then $100k in tuition alone over a four year period.

Learned that my kid can get instate tuition due to my wife and I having our undergrad at USL/UL.

Was wondering if that was still the case. It’s part of the reason I went to UL even though I lived out of LA in HS.

At the time, every public school in LA had the same policy. All except one. I’m sure you wonder who that is (their rule was if you left the state more than 4 years prior to enrollment, you were considered out of state).
