So, what does this mean in real life? Let's say you're a student from Washington state who wants to study computer science at UW. If you qualify for in-state tuition, you'll pay significantly less than an out-of-state student, which can add up to tens of thousands of dollars in savings over the course of four years. That's like getting a free car, or a year's worth of rent - it's a huge deal!

For example, let's say your friend is an out-of-state student who's paying $40,000 per year in tuition, while you're paying $12,000 per year as an in-state student.

Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the point - in-state tuition can save you a ton of money and make a huge difference in your life.
