Private school tuition is not residency dependent, so it makes sense that you'd pay the same tuition, regardless of where you're from - but don't forget the cost of food and a place to live near that "out of state" campus. I can't speak for every possible scenario, but generally, it would be highly unlikely that your cost of attending an out-of-state private school will be lower than the cost of attending your nearby community college. There's only one sure way to find out. Complete the FAFSA, apply to both schools, and receive financial aid offer letters from both programs. That will provide you with all of the information that you need to make your decision. Good luck to you!<br><b>References : </b><br> When you’re evaluating aid for an out-of-state university, don’t forget to consider the additional costs involved.
