Which is the most expensive state public college?

Hey everyone, I've been trying to understand more about the costs associated with going to college, especially for state schools. One thing I'm confused about though: which is the most expensive state public college? I'd appreciate any insight you could provide!

The answer to your question can vary depending on whether you're looking at in-state or out-of-state tuition rates. State colleges often have two different tuition rates for residents versus non-residents of the state.

If we're talking about in-state tuition, the College of William and Mary in Virginia often comes up as one of the most expensive. For the 2023-2024 school year, the in-state tuition and fees at William and Mary were about $25,000.

If you're looking at out-of-state tuition, the University of Michigan often stands out as one of the most expensive state schools. For the same school year (2023-2024), the out-of-state tuition and fees at UMich were about $60,000.

These figures do not include room and board, so the total cost of attendance would be higher. Additionally, remember that these amounts represent starting points before any financial aid or scholarships, which can significantly lower the actual cost for many students.

Please note that tuition costs can change every year and it's essential to check each college's website or contact their financial aid office for the most accurate information.
