Differences Between Public and Private Universities

Chris wants to know what are the differences between public schools and private schools. I think this is an excellent question that a lot of high school students have so let's watch the video then I will explain to you guys My name is Chris and one of the things I would like to know is the differences between a public college and a private college, i mean generally private cost is more than public, but i ask you guys what you guys think the differences Okay so public universities are usually funded by the state and the reason why they are subsidized by the state is to keep the tuition cost low. Now lately because of budget cuts, the tuition has not remained low it's actually increased significantly. In a lot of states, public university tuition is pretty compare to private university tuition which is very unfortunate. However you also have to keep in mind that when a universities being subsidized by the state they have to be here to certain rules whereas a public university gets the play by its own rules in a lot of cases, is not completely so i think that's the best distinction to make. Do you have anything to add. I don't really agree to your second point yeah so at a private college they've a lot more control over the sorts of groups to get formed you know what does your free speech count for, private colleges is a lot more constrained as a public school so that's what the major thing. So for instance at some public colleges if you want to create like a christian group, right, if that christian group discriminates against non-christians it might not be recognized as an official uh... organization within the university or it might not get any funding from the university. However at a private university sure that might happen. Might be encouraged. It might be encouraged so you might want to look into the different policies that a private university has versus the public university and then you might make a decision on where to go based on that alone but also keep in mind that in most cases public universities are supposed to be cheaper, but that's not always the case. Do your research.
