Having graduated from high school, some students are aiming to enter the school on the other side of the country. However, while an in-state public education is usually one of the cheapest ways to higher education, many schools promote out-of-state prices that allow learners to bloom far from where they're planted at an affordable price.

Thus, looking through the 414 ranked public colleges and universities (the survey submitted in 2011-2012), the average cost of out-of-state tuition and fees was $17,785 that is almost $10,000 less than the average cost among private schools.

Regarding the top of ten cheapest schools, five of them fall into the Midwest Regional Universities embracing three Minnesota schools: Minnesota State University-Moorhead, Southwest Minnesota State University, and Bemidji State University. Furthermore, five are ranked as Regional Universities either in the West or South, except for the lone school ranked among National Liberal Arts Colleges: Louisiana State University-Alexandria.
