Public or Private
Public schools, like the University of Illinois or Chicago State University, receive some funds from the state government which is why they are called "public." Private schools, like the University of Chicago, do not receive any support from the government and receive funds from private donations.
The tuition is lower at public colleges and universities than at private ones. But don't rule out private colleges on cost alone. Private colleges may have more money for scholarships for qualified students.
Use a college calculator to figure out what the average costs will be at public community colleges, public four-year colleges, and private four-year colleges. Remember, this is not what you will pay. That will depend on what your family can pay and the financial aid package that you receive.
