Regional/State College Tuition Discounts - Canada/USA & Abroad - bjcheung77 - 11-19-2020
So, I was looking into how to get tuition rates at the in-state pricing and decided to dig deeper into that subject...
Here's what I found and compiled a short list. Hopefully, it'll work for someone reading... good luck!
Canada: http://wcdgs.ca/ - Western Deans Agreement: http://wcdgs.ca/western-deans-agreement.html
USA Regions: Here are the largest ones available currently, each of these have their own "regulations/rules".

I know that WUE is a good one - you pay 150% of in-state rates, so a lot, but a huge discount on the out-of-state rates. But, I've known people that give up that great CA in-state rate to go to a WUE school and finish in 4 years instead of 5 or 6 (due to impaction at most of the CA CSU/UC schools). So it turns out to cost a similar amount when all is said and done.
Just an FYI, for many, it's program-specific. So for instance, in WUE, nursing won't be something you can get great pricing on, because almost every school has an abundance of students for the program, more than they can handle.
