I agree it's high, but these are all state schools. You're picking the out-of-state tuition number that's not supposed to be subsidized by local taxes. It's far easier to raise tuition on out-of-state kids so that has happened in recent years as well.

I still don't consider it shockingly expensive - it's been the top value public university in the country for 18 years in a row.
