State university (U.S.)

In the United States, a state university or state college is one of the colleges or universities in the state (or territorial) university system. There are no federally-run colleges or universities in the United States other than the United States military academies. State universities usually offer lower tuition costs to in-state residents, as they are funded by state tax dollars.
