This happened my freshman year at UCLA, too. But I think it was because they were behind schedule on building one of the newer dorm buildings. I didn't even realize we had a large study lounge until the six boys living there moved out spring quarter.

True. The out-of-state tuition + room/board at my alma mater = same tuition as any number of private schools. Although I think a lot of state schools around here give in-state tuition to kids from neighboring states (PA, WV, etc.) to try and pull kids from other states.

Some states have formal agreements with other states to count their students as in-staters. WI and MN had this for years, but I think it is ending soon.
