Public universities are funded partially by the government and therefore are less tuition than private universities.
However, private universities give much more financial aid than public, and most students receive it.
A "public"school gets all state funding, e.g. UMass Amherst, University of Michigan. A "private" school funds itself primarily through tuition, e.g. Harvard University, Yale. Public schools are relatively inexpensive for people going to a public school in their state, and still fairly inexpensive (but more costly) if you're from out-of-state. Public schools also sometimes get more scholarships through the state, and some are easier to get into (DO NOT take this as public schools are bad -- there are some good or great ones). Hope this helps!
