re: Are out of state colleges worth it?

The two scenarios where I think it makes more sense:
- Your in state flagships aren't very good and/or have limited reach in places you'd want to work. I don't think there are a lot of those situations.
- Your flagship in-state schools are out of reach. This is more controversial, but if you can't go to UGA in Georgia (or GT but it's obviously become more niche), you're going to be in a web of underachiever fun schools like GA Southern, big, soulless commuter schools like Kennesaw State and Georgia State, and often-oddball small colleges.
Contrary to popular belief I think undergrad choice can matter based on the circumstance. Not that you can't get a good education at Berry College, but going there vs. Clemson is probably going to impact your young adult path pretty heavily.

This my daughter cannot get into UF living here in Florida. She has good grades and good test scores but not great. There are kids in her grade (one of the best public school) in Florida with great grades and test scores not getting in. We have no option but to go out of state unless we want her at USF, UCF, or UNF. We are looking all around the south and have a few places we have targeted further away.
