Searching for a list of all state schools

Does anyone know where I can find a complete list of all state schools? I want to compare them before deciding where to apply. Any help would be wonderful. Thanks!

Absolutely, the College Navigator website hosted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) would be a good resource to start with. It allows you to filter and search for colleges and universities by a variety of factors, such as whether they're public or private, their location, and more.

You can filter the search results to only show public (i.e., state) schools by selecting "public" under the "institution type" filter. This will then display a comprehensive list of all state schools in their database, along with key information about each, such as tuition cost, size, and graduation rate, among others.

This information can be quite helpful in the decision-making process as you continue to research and compare schools. To further assist with your search, it may also be beneficial to consider your academic interests, location preferences, and the overall campus culture. Don't forget to look into each school's programs in your field of interest, as some public universities have very strong programs in certain disciplines.

Finally, don't forget about financial considerations. Out-of-state students can pay significantly more than in-state students at public universities. You may wish to consider the out-of-state tuition costs of these institutions when comparing them.
