  1. Yep! As long as I was reading tuition charts correctly, Rhode Island College, Portland State University, San Francisco State University, Chicago State University, University of Illinois Chicago, University of Wisconsin Madison, and Metropolitan State University of Denver all hover somewhere between 18-24k/year for out of state tuition. There are definitely more! I omitted searching in states I would not want to live or study in, which is about 20-25 states, and limited my search to fairly sizeable metropolitan areas. I also omitted programs that did not have some sort of macro option. As a side note, if you are not concerned about living in a city, and especially if you are interested in a rural-focused program, there are some much better financial options, and the list is long for more 'affordable' out-of-state options. For instance, Colorado State University in Fort Collins participates in WICHE/WRPG, available to residents of multiple western states. This allows you to pay resident tuition, which is quite low. The catch is that Fort Collins is quite small, and their program appears very rural-focused. (I found a number of programs like this, but couldn't be bothered to record all of them, as I am unwilling to leave behind my public transit, chaotic big cities and populations I really want to work with). Thanks! Go Colorado! I didn't know about that but I am already applying there. That is super helpful, and definitely worth looking into for criteria to qualify for in-state. Double thanks! P.S. I have some coding skills, and I am considering building a simple app that compares tuition prices in the states, especially out-of-state. I was really impressed by the difficulty of searching for seemingly simple data-points for financial comparison. Maybe I'll do it in my spare time waiting for admission decisions to come in... unless someone else knows about a super cool comparison resource I missed.
  2. Thanks for the response! I know it's a shot in the dark. Yes- urbanitism is real, and it is my issue as well. I am fairly under the city spell and committed to studying and working in metropolitan areas. For anyone looking now or in the future, I did end up making a massive list of schools to compare out-of-state tuition. There are a number at 20k+ around the country. The only school (as of Fall 2016) I found in a large city for 15k/year or less was Georgia State in Atlanta. I'm still a bit unfamiliar with the program, but there it is. (As a disclaimer, I am not only selecting schools based on tuition, as tuition is really only part of anyone's decision making process. But since I am now pretty much out of state everywhere, I was trying to decide on a couple financially 'safe' schools).
  3. I'm currently applying to University of Denver (DU), University of Chicago, and Berkeley. I'm still trying to decide on a couple cheaper/safe options in case I don't get accepted/any funding. Honestly, I am a little horrified at and feeling a bit stubborn about going into so much debt. Does anyone have suggestions for programs with (relatively) affordable out-of-state tuition- aka under 15k/year with the assumption of 0% funding? I have a decent sized list of schools with price comparisons, but I am asking with the hope that maybe I missed something...
