### Comment:
only if you are a resident of that state, good example UNM for new mexico residents is $8k a year + room and board. For out of state applicants its $35k a year + room and board. USC is a similar situation, for california residents its $10k a year for out of state applicants its about $65k a year. Also that college averages is a great tag line because you can lump community college into the average too which dramatically pushes the average down.

### REPLY:
I think in-state university is already expensive as hell, going out of state without a scholarship or support of a wealthy family is just crazy. I don't know anyone from highschool who actually did that. 
  
 That 10k figure doesn't include community college, but it's a really misleading stat because average makes you think of a middling cost. I looked up every university in my state I've ever heard of and the cheapest is 12k a year for tuition, and 10k is 'average'?
