I had people from out of state going to my school, because they said it was cheaper for them to pay out of state tuition there than any of their state schools.

Shepherd University/semester (09 to 10)

  IN-STATE Tuition and Fees	$ 2,617.00	
  OUT-OF-STATE Tuition and Fees	$ 6,787.00
  + (optional)
  Room	1,945.00
  Board  (19 Meal Plan)	1,669.00

So four years instate would be 21k + books (excluding normal living expenses.)
