After looking up some articles about the two topics I was thinking about and reading the comments of my professor I have decided to choose out of state tuition for my research topic because it has a lot more discussion that goes along with the topic rather than facts. After reading a few articles I found it interesting how many other professors around the country feel that out of state tuition is a problem with funding schools. I also saw some interesting articles about charging in state immigrants an out of state tuition because of where they came from. With me being an out of state student myself I am interested in learning the reasons of the payments I am making and if it will get better or worse in the future.
Looking up articles on Google news I found some interesting articles using key phrases such as "selling the school". I thought it was interesting that they would raise the price of some less well known school to compete with the prices of well known schools to make their education seem equal. I thought that it was very interesting that people would compete out of state school wise by raising their tuition instead of lowering it. This is an idea of my topic that I would like to know more information on.
The three articles that I really looked into online that gave some different aspects of out of state tuition are listed below in their links. I think they all give some reasoning and discussion about out of state tuition and the different aspects that could cause the raising prices of tuition or why there is a significant difference between in state and out of state. I have yet to find any contradicting information on my topic. I am interested to come across the information as a look deeper into this topic.
