What are the best public colleges for out-of-state students?

Hey everyone,

I've been researching the best public colleges for out-of-state students, especially as a student-athlete juggling sports and academics. Personally, I found University of Michigan and University of California, Berkeley to be great options. Their strong athletic programs and academic reputation make them ideal for balancing both worlds. However, navigating the out-of-state tuition and meeting NCAA eligibility requirements can be challenging. Have any other student-athletes had experiences with these schools or others? I'd love to hear your insights and recommendations!

Looking forward to learning from your experiences!

Cheers

Hey there! As a commuter student juggling studies and life, I found that the University of Florida offers great resources for out-of-state students. The campus atmosphere is vibrant, and there are plenty of support services for commuters like me. I appreciated the diverse student body and the opportunities for involvement in clubs and activities. Have any of you also experienced the benefits of attending a public college as an out-of-state student? What are your thoughts on finding the right balance between academics and other responsibilities?

What do others think about this?
