Over the years, the cost of college tuition has been one of the central issues limiting students, like me, from obtaining the best education that one could receive. Usually, this results in students settling for a school nearby rather than being able to have the choice to go to the best one in which they were accepted into, due to such skyrocket prices. Much of this problem or concern has to do with out-of-state tuition being much higher than in-state tuition, sometimes almost doubling the price of in-state tuition!

For years, the differences in the prices between in-state and out-of-state college tuition has always been an issue in determining where many high school graduates go to school, so by acting now we may help our future and current generations in obtaining an equal, more advanced education. Therefore, leading to a more productive work force, which in turn can generate an increase in the economy’s status.
