Reply to comment by Away-Living5278 in Penn State, PSU, Temple and Lincoln say a tuition hike is needed, even with a 7% increase in state funding by Mrstucco
It's not a state school, same with temple. They are public "state-related" institutions, pretty much allows them to get state funding and then blow it on dumb campus building projects and admin bloat. With how their grant structure worked for me, I was able to go to temple and save about 25k over 4 years compared to attending bloomsburg university, a university that is actually in the state system of higher education.

Which is a really shitty way for the state to structure public higher education. Our large flagship universities are as expensive as private schools. Pennsylvania residents have to go to a lower tier of universities to get true in state tuition. Other states are able to keep their flagships more affordable. It holds PA back in my opinion

Many of them have sold out to "luxury" housing and basically turned into shopping malls as well.
Which can generally be all paid for by student loans.
Then you'll go to a classroom that's some bizarre yellow room three floors below ground with paint from 1970 taught by another student.
