Is it true if I go to college out of state I pay more money?

I plan on going out of state to college and my efc (estmaied family income) is 2400 is it true I only get like 200 per semester?Is it true if I go to college out of state I pay more money?
Yes, you will have to pay more. Depending on where you go, however, you might not have to pay as much. Where I live, most of the colleges offer ';Metro'; tuition, and one even offers in-state if you live in certain counties.





The college that offers ';Metro'; tuition has a policy that if you live within 50 miles of the campus, you can commute to college, therefore not having to stay on campus (which is mandatory for the first two years at this college if you live outside of the 50 mile radius) and not having to pay full out-of-state tuition. This college's out-of-state tuition is double that of in state tuition, and the ';Metro'; tuition is straight down the middle.





The college that offers in-state tuition for some out-of-state residents is located RIGHT on the boarder of two states (the bridge crossing the river is located literally on the edge of campus). Because of this, there are a few bordering counties that the university has made eligible for in-state tuition.





As for the person who said that after a year you're considered in-state, that is not true. In order to be considered in-state, you have to attend the college for one year as out-of-state then declare residency in that state. I've looked into this myself as I attend college out of state, and this would also require me to hold a job (I can't remember off the top of my head if I would had to have a full-time or part-time job), change over all of my insurances (car insurance to the new state and registering it under my name, going off of my parent's health, dental, vision...insurances), and - yes, this really is a requirement - not leave the state for at least one year (for example, I couldn't go home for winter or summer break). How they would police this I do not know, but hey - everyone's entitled to take an out-of-state ';vacation,'; right?





Basically, if you attend an out-of-state college, plan on paying more than an in-state resident. If you really want to stay away from home, try looking into colleges far from where you live (For example, I'm located on the southern border of my state, so pretty much anywhere toward the middle of the state and more north would require me to live on-campus or around campus)!Is it true if I go to college out of state I pay more money?
Out of state tuition is almost universally higher than in state tuition.
It is true, if you go out of state for college you will pay out of state tuition. After a year then you will be considered a resident and will pay in state tuition. Your EFC takes into consideration family size as well, your pell grant should stay the same no matter where you go. You just wont be considered for any state grants. You should talk to your financial aid office to see if you can get any institutional money. You could get some student loans to help cover the expense too.
You will pay up to 10 times more if you go to an out of state school for the duration of your college time there. It won't go down after you have lived there for a few years. Note: your EFC number is NOT the amount you will actually have to pay for school. This number is simply a code the school uses to determine what kinds and how much financial aid to give you. What you end up paying (especially at an out of state school) may be more.... CONSIDERABLY more.





Best to list and apply for several different schools, both instate and out of state to see what kind of financial aid you get. Go for the one with the least amount of loans... (which is not necessarily the one with the biggest scholarship amount).





With an EFC of 2400, you will get considerably more than 200 a semester in a federal Pell grant. Probably around 1200 a semester. That money will go a lot farther in paying your tuition and fees at a community college that may only cost you 1500 a semester. If you go to an out of state school that will cost you 12,000 in tuition, that 1200 won't go as far.


Good luck
yes, tuition will cost more. Not to mention boarding costs. Can you stick close to home. Community colleges are good to start and cheaper.
From my experience yes. You could pay up to double the amount.


Check the different colleges but I have lived in several states and this has been the norm.

Is it true that normal flu is deadlier than swine flu?

Some people say that all the hype over swine flu is over nothing and that normal flu is considered to be deadlier. I thought that normal flu doesn't really kill anymore but apparently this is not the case. What do you think? The world health organization raised the alert from 5 to 6.Is it true that normal flu is deadlier than swine flu?
Well regarding the common human flu more people have died per date but that is due to the years upon years of infection and death were as this new strain has just come about and is believed to be derived from human/bird/swine strains intermixing.





Studies have been taken and the faultily rate for normal flu infections is less then 0.05%. Where as the new strain of H1N1 fatality rate in comparison to the amount affected range is between 0.3% - 1.5%. Regarding your question if you look at the statistics so far it looks although the new strain is much more deadly and i believe will spread very rapidly similar to that of ';Kevin bacon numbers';. This strain is similar to the ';Spanish Flu'; on 1918 which caused over 150 million deaths in a period of 2 years.





Now regarding the casualty rates at the moment is it a little early to know exactly how many will die and those that have in places like Mexico/America might of had the virus for years so possibly everyone infected could die based on speculation. Not proved, just an opinion of a worst case scenario. However since this virus has killed those healthy in their 30's, 40's it is a pretty good estimation that most elder persons with weaker immune systems will have a massive chance of dieing after infection, but from the information we know at the moment all ages have a chance much higher then any normal flu.





In conclusion it seems as though this new strain is much more deadly and considering how fast it is spreading with over 36,000 world wide this will spread fast and many will die, the media always softens the news as to not create panic among society but do yourself a favor and be ready, wash hands regularly keep away from anyone that has flu symptoms, and possibility purchase a flu mask and other precautionary protection ready for when this blows totally out of control in which appears to be very soon and even though vaccines/medication are being researched and dispensed considering the large volume of persons that will become infected who knows if everyone will be treated correctly.Is it true that normal flu is deadlier than swine flu?
The regular flue virus is far deadlier than swine flu. The swine flu is a mild strain, which is why it isn't dangerous.





People are not worried about swine flu per se, they are worried about the possibility of mutation, and the swine flu virus becoming something dangerous.
because the population infected by normal flu is huge, while government control tightly on swine flu.


If you have 1 million normal flu patients, eventually 100 dies. The death rate is 1/10,000.


Compared with you only have 100 swine flu patients, and 1 dies. The death rate is 1/100.


So people die more does really mean this flu is more deadly.
Yes a normal flu is deadlier than Swine Flu, more people die every year from it.


The reason Swine Flu was such a big deal, is because it was a new Flu and was spreading fast. Since we didn't know so much about it, as humans we freaked out. Although now it's calmed down, and the Swine Flu is actually pretty much a common cold.
In terms of number of death, common flu is more dangerous because it kills more people every year. However this H1N1 strain doesn't have a certain medication that addresses it. In fact, it is resistant to common flu diseases.
I notice that pretty much everyone here is saying the normal flu, however, It is still too early in the game to be making that decision. Yes, many people die from the regular flu each year, but what happens when flu season starts back up? As you have all said, this is a new sickness that we don't know a lot about. Mixed with the regular flu it could in fact be very bad.
Swine Flu is worse because no one is immune to it.


Have you ever seen the normal flu spread all over the world in a matter of months?


There is nothing to panic over, most people that get it have mild symptoms. Lets hope it doesn't return in the fall.
Yes. Normal flu kills about 35,000 people every year, and no one ever panics about it. Not nearly as many people have died from swine flu. It is serious, but most people are over reacting. Most cases of swine flu in the US have been minor.
Hard to say.





There are vaccines available for the regular flu where as there are none available for swine flu.


Swine Flu is currently a mild strain but scientists believe it will mutate soon and will start to become alot more serious.
Yes. The normal flu kills thousands of people yearly.





The WHO raising the alert was actually stupid because they know that they are creating too much panic and then they went and did that.

Why do we make wishes and blow out birthday candles each year if the wishes never come true?

Has anyone's birthday wish ever come true? Has anyone's birthday wish ever came true each year? Is Satan laughing at us because we do this each birthday and the wish never comes true?Why do we make wishes and blow out birthday candles each year if the wishes never come true?
';When you wish upon a star


Makes no difference who you are


Anything your heart desires


Will come to you





If your heart is in your dream


No request is too extreme


When you wish upon a star


As dreamers do





Fate is kind


She brings to those who love


The sweet fulfillment of


Their secret longing





Like a bolt out of the blue


Fate steps in and sees you through


When you wish upon a star


Your dreams come true';Why do we make wishes and blow out birthday candles each year if the wishes never come true?
Maybe you are wishing too big. Several of mine have come true, although certainly not all of them. Remember, the thing about wishes and prayers is that you can't expect them to just come true, you have to do your part in getting what you want!
Same reason people still pray: a mix of superstition and tradition.
Mine always come true,





but I always wish for cake.
wishes and gods will never help you, if you want somthing you have to go work for it and getit urself :) good luck

Is it true that Sarah Palin had her publicist contact Dancing with the Stars for next season?

Rumor has it that Palin wants to be on Dancing with the Stars after losing the election. She wants to cash in on her fame.Is it true that Sarah Palin had her publicist contact Dancing with the Stars for next season?
I could not find anything to support this but I am sure she is a better dancer than a vice president. Maybe she will find her true calling!!Is it true that Sarah Palin had her publicist contact Dancing with the Stars for next season?
HAHAHAHAHA you have GOT to be kidding me! though, if she really was on the show, i just might vote for her dances just because i hate her so much!
Yes, but she best do it fast as her 15 min are just about over

Is it true that Obama said something about ';clinging to their guns and religion'; during the primary?

Or, is this a right wing lie?Is it true that Obama said something about ';clinging to their guns and religion'; during the primary?
Well lets take it in context, it was at a San Francisco fundraiser (imagine that) and he obviously didn't think it would be heard by those to whom he was so condescendingly disparaging. Its shameful really, to be mocked for utilizing the freedoms that are guaranteed by this great country, but now misunderstood as some type of angry frustrated minority fringe outcast mentality by the liberal elite to be dismissed as not worthy of a vote.Is it true that Obama said something about ';clinging to their guns and religion'; during the primary?
Yep, it's true. He thinks it's wrong for the America people to have guns and religion. This is his way of appeasing the Liberals who think we shouldn't have weapons within our homes. I moved here to California (to be with my Marine husband) and discovered that the only way you can register to own a gun is if you've been attacked two consecutive times...And you can be charged with murder if you kill someone that's breaking into your home. Also, if you even injure them while they're in your home, they can actually sue you...Even though they broke in.





Liberals think all of America should be like California. It's a horrible thought.
Its true, in more ways than one, there is a certain element for whom education and intelligence isn't wanted or needed, they do cling to their guns and religion, they shy away from technology and science.


The fact that guns and religion are interwoven in their thinking is key.


He wasn't putting down gun owners or people who believe in the bible, just the people who have nothing else they believe in.
He said: “You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And it’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”





Basically he called them Bible thumping, gun toting, racist hicks.
Totally true, and said in a forum where he was DUMB ENOUGH to think there weren't any cameras running.





It was Mr. Elitist's way of talking down about your ';common folk'; who he claims to represent when he's in your town..... and then who he basically calls rednecks when he's with his Hollywood supporters.





If you took ANY time at all to research Obama, there's no way you could ever support him......
I guess you are just now joining us.





As you will learn...this is only one of several Obama gaffs. However, it's not widely publicized. Might have something to do with a BIG push by the news media to get Obama elected.





Listen to 'The Battle of the Headlines' on the Glenn Beck Radio Show. Absolutely Hillarious!
Full Quote..





';cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them”





Some how people ignore the last part of his quote.He was talking about small town uber-religious, gun toting racists...which I assume most of you are not. Right?





Now if you are a small town uber-religious, gun toting racist...by all means be offended by this.






I support Obama (at least compared to the lunatics on the other side), but he did indeed say this. It was actually used against him by Hillary to try and point out how ';out of touch'; he supposedly was with lower-class America.





Thing is, many people (myself included) actually agreed with it.
He was talking about the people who live in Pennsylvania...in a speech for ultra-liberals in California...during the democratic primary
Yes it is true. He said it at a private fundraiser in San Fransisco but someone taped it and released it. It was right before the Pennsylvania primary..
why would they lie. everything he said is taped by journalists.
Yes, he said it in San Francisco during a fundraiser. He was talking about YOU.
And John McShame was against MLK birthday becoming a holiday.
Not a lie, it came directly from Obama's mouth.
It's true, but I don't like clinging on to religion or guns anyway.
Agree with the above. I've seen the tape many times.
yes he did. the more he speaks the more foot he shoves in his mouth.
yep he said it about ';small town America';.
Yes, he did.
yes he did uit was a reemark about Clinton seeking the votes of bible thumbing gun owners
Jesus wants us to own assault rifles. It's in the Bible!
