DC is not a state.
2 comments

People still live there and the lack of a public school still affects them. Now I’m kinda curious if DC residents get in-state tuition in Virginia or Maryland or Delaware?
We have a program that contributes $10k/yr towards the difference. We don't get in-state for any of the nearby states and $10k/yr generally is not enough to cover the different in modern state schools.

When I was in this position, it was basically only economical to go a private school for undergrad.

right, my only point was that not everywhere in the US has a good/affordable state school you can go to. when asked for an example, i gave the example of where i grew up
