State schools, my friends. If you're in-state, you might pay 1/4 or less the costs of a private college.

That depends massively on which state you're a resident of.

Probably does vary by state. But overall:

"According to the College Board, the average cost of tuition and fees for the 2017–2018 school year was $34,740 at private colleges, $9,970 for state residents at public colleges, and $25,620 for out-of-state residents attending public universities." - https://www.collegedata.com/cs/content/content_payarticle_tm...

So in-state is, overall, a shade more than 1/4 the cost of private.
