What are the most low-cost universities in the USA?

Hey everyone! I'm currently a high school junior trying to figure out how to afford college. Which universities in the US are known for being the most affordable, especially for out-of-state students?

There are several universities around the U.S known for their affordability, even for out-of-state students. Here are a few examples:

1. Berea College in Berea, Kentucky, provides every admitted student a Tuition Promise Scholarship, making it tuition-free for every student. The college covers more than $44,100 in annual costs.

2. CUNY (City University of New York) and SUNY (State University of New York) systems provide considerable value for out-of-state students. While these public institutions historically favor New York residents, they also offer relatively modest rates for nonresident students when compared to similar institutions.

3. Florida's public universities like University of Florida and Florida State University offer relatively lower out-of-state tuition rates compared to many others.

4. University of Wyoming offers the lowest out-of-state tuition fees among all public 4-year colleges, offering a high-quality education at an affordable price point.

5. University of North Carolina schools (like UNC Chapel Hill and UNC Greensboro) provide affordable education with the out-of-state tuition being significantly lower than at many other public institutions.

6. West Virginia University offers competitive out-of-state tuition.

Based on each of these universities' financial profiles, out-of-state students can receive a well-rounded education at a more manageable cost. However, one should not disregard the potential benefit of in-state tuition if you're from a state with strong public universities. Furthermore, studying in state might yield opportunities for additional state-based financial aid that isn't available to out-of-state students.
