arkie, okie state, and other neighboring schools offer in-state tuition for out of state texas kids. i know of smart girls who couldn't get into UT, didn't want aggy or rice, who went to mich st and iOSU and got in state tuition at those schools. other schools know that they can get smart texas kids to go to their schools if they offer in state tuition. outside of texas and rice, the other in state texas schools are prob not getting the best texas kids.
Wait, what? A month or two ago I specifically looked up "reciprocity Texas" and found what essentially said there is none. With what you're saying, maybe that means Texas offers no in-state tuition breaks to any out-of-state kids, but perhaps the converse is not true. Is there a master list somewhere that details which out-of-state public universities allow Texas kids to attend on in-state tuition rates? That could be a game-changer.

Dude, seriously? 3 consecutive state championships is a great outcome, but Ced averaged a shit load more than 3 yards a carry.
I can't find how many carries or yards he had in 1998. According to Dave Campbell's Texas football, in 1999 Benson rushed for 3,526 yards, 8th all time in Texas. You really think he carried the ball 1,175 times that year alone to get those yards? For reference, Jonathan Grey holds the record with 1,225 career carries and Jacquizz Rodgers is second with 1,134 career carries.
Ced had under 1000 career carries and under 408 carries in any season, since he doesn't crack the top-10 in either stat. His 1999 stats are at least 8.66 yards per carry. 3,526/407 = 8.66.
He wasn't referring to Cedric Benson or his HS team. He was referring to the team that never punts and has great success in doing so.

I'd say we got the gal to agree to a date, but dinner and drinks are gonna have to go really well if we expect to close the deal.

So, if I try to read between the syphilitic ramblings, I think he's saying France is instituting tariffs on American tech imports, and that's inappropriate, because WE should be taxing those goods?
Uh . . . is this just another example of Donald not understanding how tariffs work?
The more likely answer is that Donald feels it's perfectly OK for us to apply tariffs on imports but it's totes uncool for other countries to do the same.

Posting for no reason other than Stan & Red (and it's probably on a big thread somewhere anyway) . . .
75 YO Luke Appling takes Warren Spahn deep with a home run in an Old Timer game. Probably a short fence, but who cares?

Anyone have info on these "required" health plans? My kids are on my health insurance until age 26 unless they get their own through an employer. Is a school plan pretty easily waived?

my wife went to wash u. loved it. still sees her friends from there every year 2 decades later.
I was born in University City and my parents both went to Wash U. Dad taught engineering there for years. It is a tremendous school, easily on par with most of the "other Ivies".

I don't want to fall down a "why financial aid and the cost of higher education in the country is so absurdly fucked up" hole, but this illustrates perfectly why the cost isn't always the cost. A lot of people forswear private school just assuming it's unobtainable. If you like somewhere and can afford (or get waived) the application fee, you should apply and sweat the financial aid forms. You might be surprised.
I completely agree -- it appears that the net cost to attend private school is generally at or below all but in-state public schools. There are some good public universities where out-of-state tuition isn't close to what most private schools charge, but they're rare. Minnesota is one -- tuition/fees @ $33.5K. I have yet to learn how financial aid compares to private institutions, though.

It looks to me like you have to prove time spent dealing with the breach, for which you get reimbursed $25/hour up to 20 hours (or something like that). As far as I'm concerned, the damage is done, and $25/hour is not worth it.
There may be a component related to financial loss that I missed.
-
Hillary and Bill Clinton had absolutely nothing to do with Donald Trump winning the Republican nomination for POTUS. This silly blame-shifting is just part of the playbook.
-
The level of effort and documentation required for reimbursement isn't worth it.

No problem -- I'm not known for being an anal retentive asshole for no reason.

Also, in my personal calculus, I don't count some of the COA because I'm paying the equivalent now. In other words, I'm already paying "board" (although it's surely higher even in a dorm compared to a kid's fraction of our family meal budget). Same with "other expenses". I pay thousands every year for each kid that will go away after HS (band, lessons, select sports teams, etc.).
BUT, that has nothing to do with your argument. Those costs still exist, and as you say, various financial aid calculations account for them.
Thanks for the info.

So are you just being willful obtuse? The comprehensive fee is right underneath where you are pulling the tuition on financial aid websites.
No, I'm not being willfully obtuse. As it turns out, the inaccuracy on my part wasn't a failure to include fees, it was just older data. Tuition hikes in just 3 years are actually significant.

Well, no. Trump made things way worse, but you knew that.

AOC supports the 'decolonization process' of Puerto Rico following governor's resignation
Agree with AOC. Time to cut the cord and let PR be an independent nation
Well, if we're going to continue to treat PR the way Trump has, then yes.

Add room and board,
Well yeah, and I mentioned that. The # I see for room & board is consistently in the $10K - $12K range, depending on school/dorm. Unless "expenses" include a healthy amount of cocaine, I'm struggling to see how you get to $75K. Is room & board significantly higher at some of the schools you referenced?

Right. You're just parroting the far right party line. Ironically, in this case, you're trying to discredit THE GUY WHO DIDN'T CONCLUDE CONSPIRACY AND PUNTED ON OBSTRUCTION.
For fuck's sake, y'all are just remarkably stupid.

Yes, that's more in line with what I found. Texas is pretty much an island as far as reciprocity goes, but you have to dig at any particular institution to find out about cost breaks on OOS tuition. Thanks.
