It appears to me that you have the difference in the wrong direction, Mark S. According to their websites:
NU tuition amounts to $9,980 per quarter (normally 3-4 courses). Since an academic year for a quarter school is typically 3 quarters (summer excluded), that amounts to $29,940 per normal academic year.
UM out-of-state tuition is $35,766 per academic year for lower division students (freshman/sophomore) and a couple of thousand per year higher for upper division students.
By comparison, Michigan State, Iowa and Ohio State out-of-state tuition runs around $15,000-$17,000 per year (30 hours, lower division), compared to around $6,000 for in-state. Illinois checks in around $8,000 in-state and $21,000 out-of-state.
I haven't checked the others but I think you will generally find that out-of-state tuition at the Big 10 state schools runs from around 2.5 to 3 times in-state-tuition.
The moral is that, if you live in a state that has a good academic state university (IMO, I don't ![[frown]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smilie2.gif) ), it is an educational bargain (hey, you've been paying for it with your tax dollars). Out-of-state tuition at such schools may still be a bargain compared to some good private schools but perhaps not the bargain it used to be.
Best regards,
