It's a necessary evil to them, because they know northern kids willing to put up the money to come to NC schools come with high SAT scores and will likely do very well, driving up graduation rates and potential donor money. But the schools don't like the idea of those same kids taking their degrees and leaving the state.

I won't be surprised to see the 18% increase in the next decade. NC legislators are always looking for ways to cut the budget, and allowing increases(especially for schools with high out of state demand), could certainly help in that aspect. Not to mention, a lot of out of state students decide to stay and maybe drag their parents down to boot. Who doesn't want to leave the frigid, high tax north for the beaches of Wrightsville Beach?

If you read the article I posted, University of South Carolina is at 50% out of state.

I would love to know the actual numbers of out of state students that stay and how many of those are active donors, along with the number of THOSE students that their parents migrate south to the area to be near them, and then the number of those that contribute $$$ to the school post graduation.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's a very small number with very small donor totals.
