OH students are not being treated fairly

I am writing this in regards to transfer students receiving in-state tuition after 2 years at another school. Being a student from Ohio I find this extremely unfair. Ever since I was in high school I wanted to attend college here, now I am being punished for not going to an Ohio school first. NKU needs to recognize and reward those who are loyal to the school. Students that started out at NKU are more deserving (of in-state tuition) than transfer students who don’t respect the school nearly as much. Out-of-state students should pay out-of-state tuition, but after two years of school here shouldn’t we be granted in-state tuition and not transfer students, or are we the outsiders?
