Including out-of-state schools in your college search may help you identify the right school at the right price. Many of the in-state public options SEEM like a good price point, but then students are lingering for far too long (6-7 years, in some cases) driving up the cost of their education significantly. Once tuition, housing, books & expenses are multiplied by 6 or 7 years, costs seem to pile up!
The cultural experience of being in a new city or state adds richness to your child’s education. Moving further away from home and living on their own can help your child grow as an individual. Living in an unfamiliar town can enhance your child’s cultural appreciation and provide them with new, exciting opportunities & experiences.
When searching for colleges, cast a wide net. Don’t limit your student’s options by only seeking out colleges that are in-state or nearby. When compiling a college list, encourage them to widen their search to include some out-of-state colleges. There are many well -priced educational opportunities available in other states!
