Economy forcing students to transfer back in-state - Gayle White, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

As unemployment mounts and stock accounts suffer, admissions officers at state colleges report high numbers of Georgia students applying to transfer in — from out-of-state and private schools, as well as public colleges farther from home. Tuition for in-state students at Georgia’s public colleges for the fall semester will range from $1,149 for a full schedule at a two-year college to $3,035 at Georgia Tech, Georgia State and the University of Georgia. That compares with tens of thousands of dollars for private-school tuitions.
