Tuition.\n\nCal States are state schools which are subsidized by taxes.

Each of the top universities has their own personality.  You need to visit each one and spend some time there to see the differences.  Some are in great cities (Harvard and MIT, for example), others are not.\n\nCollege is what you make it.  You can get the equivalent of an Ivy League education at a state school if you so choose.  In many cases, it is the networks that you form at college that help support you throughout your life.\n\nAll colleges have programs to help low-income families.  Many of the top schools will pay all of your educational costs if you can meet their admissions criteria.

it depends on what state you live in and if you want to go to college in or out of state. I live in Wisconsin and the best one here is in Green Bay

Portland State University has a good business school. The weather in Oregon leaves a lot to be desired. It rains (i.e., drizzles) all winter. I went to OSU and we didn't see the sun for 10 weeks. You will pay out-of-state tuition if you don't establish residency for 6 months before you enrol. This is true for just about every public college or university in the US.

Sorta kinda, but it's not that simple.\n\nI think (although I am not certain) that the state gives a lump sum to the college no matter how many in-state or out-of-state students they have.  At a public school, tuition (and fees) only cover a fairly small percentage of the school's entire operating budget (25% maybe, depending on the school).\n\nSometimes you can get reduced tuition at at state school in a neighboring state if they offer a program that your own state schools don't.  I know the states in New England do this.  I'm not sure if any money is exhanged, though - I think it's more of an agreement of "you take 100 of mine, I'll take 100 of yours, and we'll call it even".\n\nBut I just teach at a state college, I don't run the finances!

Frankly, you will get out of your education whatever you put into it. Private and state schools provide excellent programs taught by highly qualified professors. Remember, YOU choose the classes you take as well as the professors who teach those classes. In state schools, which are usually larger, the number of courses and professors who teach them is greater providing you with good options.\n\nI got my BS from a private college, my MA from a state school, and my Ph.D from a private school. The biggest difference I could discern was the cost. State schools are much more affordable. You can and will get a good education there if you choose.\n\nGood luck.

One potential thought on this would be to find the best school for this in the state in which you want to teach in.  Getting your degree, training and ceryification fast-tracks you through a lot of red tape when it comes to teaching, that an out-of-state trained teacher will have to deal with.

I second the two-at-most answer as a rule of thumb - and one that's true at most colleges of any sort. That said, do check with Your Particular Community College: some schools have their own way of going about things.

There are actually a ton of differences in the two... The first one you will notice is the size of the school... Most of the time private colleges are much smaller than state schools.  This allows the private school to offer smaller teacher to student ratios and boast that there is more 1 on 1 attention for their students (which is true) On the flip side, the larger school can offer a wider variety of classes (even if they are taught by Grad Students rather than true professors).  Socially there are advantages to both larger schools give you more of a stereo-typical college atmosphere.  Smaller schools offer a closer community feel... more like high school.\n\nThe next thing you may notice is the price-tag.  All colleges and unversities are getting more and more expensive... the difference is that private colleges where more to start with.  It would not be uncommon to pay $20,000 or more per year.  At state schools it can be half that much.  This for a variety of reasons... State schools make money through reseach grants and by publishing and other avenues such as hospitals and through some athletic programs... Private schools rely more heavily on tuition and donor dollars.\n\nThere are tons more differences.. typically private schools have a more competitive admissions policy than public schools do... Private schools offer more financial aide etc... but the best way to make your decision is to visit campus and spend time around the students and see where you fit in the best.

Technically they are supposed to pay out of state tuition rates as well as other fees but that is waived in many cases.\n\nI live near a major engineering university, out of state is roughly 3 times in state tuition.  I know that a lot of fees and tuition are waived because there is a large contingent of students from undeveloped and "third world" countries.  Since their tuition would normally start at $15,000 a semester they would have to be getting some major tuition breaks to attend.

Here's how I benefited from going to an out-of-state school:\n1. Gained more independence\n2. Became more responsible\n3. Grew up faster because I had to make more decisions on my own, cook for myself, couldn't always run to my parents to solve my problems\n4. Appreciated my parents more because I was away from them\n5. Made new friends because I wasn't always hanging out with the old ones\n6. Experienced new things and places because of a new surrounding\n7. Broadened my horizon to be in a different place with different groups of people
