How does state residence affect state university admission?
I keep seeing, on this site and others, responses to questions about admission to state universities saying that people have a better chance of getting into a state university if they live in that state. But that doesn't really make much sense to me, because out-of-state students pay more at state schools. Does anyone know if residence really does make a difference, and if so, what are the benefits to state schools admitting in-state students?
P.S. This doesn't matter much to me since state schools—in or out of state—will probably just be my safety schools and I could get into any. I'm pretty much just curious.

In my state, the admission criteria for an out-of-state person is more stringent than the admission criteria for an in-state person. It's written in black and white....right there on the admission criteria page. Out-of-staters need a higher GPA and ACT score.
I'm sure not all schools are like this, but all the comprehensive state schools in mine do. Preference is given to those who live here... if you want to move here, you are held to higher standards.
