Great tuition deals at colleges in the West!
Good news passed along to us from Paul Kanarek at the Princeton Review:There are consortia of colleges in the West who give tuition discounts to each other's students in case they want to go to college out of state, but not too far from home.
WUE (pronounced “woo-wee”) is the Western Undergraduate Exchange, a program of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE). Through WUE, students in western states may enroll in many two-year and four-year college institutions at a reduced tuition level: 150 percent of the institution's regular resident tuition.
What does this mean in real numbers?
If you are from California , and you’d like to attend the University of Arizona , the normal non-resident tuition is $11,234 per year. With WUE, it drops to $7572. At the University of Oregon , without WUE you pay $19,338 per annum; with WUE, that number drops to $9261. To give you some perspective the tuition at UCLA is $7038 per year for CA residents.
There are dozens of universities who participate in WUE and the main links are attached below.
