Florida boasts some of the lowest public tuition rates in the country, with in-state students paying $3,877 and out-of-state students paying $14,067 for the 2022-23 academic year. With in-state tuition roughly 62% below the national average ($10,115), residents save $6,000 each year on tuition costs in the Sunshine State.

Oregon has seen the most significant increase in public college tuition from 2013 to 2023 of any state, with in-state tuition costs rising by 117% and out-of-state fees growing by 70%. In-state tuition is so expensive there that residents might find it more cost-effective to pay out-of-state tuition in 24 other states.

The Northeast takes the lead when it comes to expensive public college tuition, with rates 34% higher than other regions. Notably, states like Vermont, Connecticut, and Rhode Island have public tuition fees exceeding $21,000 yearly, more than 40% higher than the national average.

When considering private colleges, expect to pay $10,000 (or 67%) more in tuition fees per year. Average tuition for private colleges is around $26,000 per year for 2022-23, but in states like Massachusetts, you might pay up to $46,000.
