Thank you.

Now, if it's a private school, it'll most likely cost more but they can pretty much do whatever they want with their money.

Pros? Depends on the school and what you're looking for really.

Tack on about 15-20 grand a year usually.

Where did you get that figure?

Most universities have out of stat fees they add on before tuition is even considered.

I've been to two. Neither tacked on an extra 15-20 grand a year. Unless you're referring to it costing more for me to go than it did NY state residents but that's understandable. The university that charged more was funded by the state, why would they charge a PA resident only $6,000 a year when that whole system was set up to help NY state residents?

This one, though, is about $35,000 a year for everyone.

Uh oh, I see a SUNY. You don't have to link me, I know all about them. I went to one.

You can't use a school like that to make your point IMO and here's why: SUNY stands for the State University of New York. It's cheap for NY residents because NY funds it. Why would they take people from New Mexico and Maine and Florida and North Dakota and Finland and what have you and charge them $6,000 a year knowing their own residents paid for it? It's for their own kids, not everyone else's. Just like CUNY is the City University of New York and is funded by not just the state but also by the city of New York.

I could give you plenty of examples of schools that cost the same for everyone regardless of where they're from. Yes, they're private, but as a result, they can do whatever they want with their money. I don't believe the OP stated whether he or she planned on attending a public or private school but the first one I attended was public and was about $15,000 a year. I got a lot of aid, though, because it had the ability to just hand it out to whoever. The second was the SUNY school and it cost maybe about $1,000 more and I didn't get any aid at all. Now I'm back in a private school, in NY, that is $35,000 a year but I got a pretty fair amount of aid.

Back home, there's a school that costs about $40,000 a year for everyone and another close by that is around $20,000 and none of them cut any PA state residents a break.

If the OP is thinking of enrolling in a public school, out of state, yeah, that's probably going to tack on a nice chunk of change. But if it's a private school, there are loads of ways to get money. Just keep your GPA up above, at least, a 3.0 and you should get something.
