No, they would need to purchase the properties first

Which will cost tens of millions. Secondly, the money they receive from the state cannot be made up through tuition unless they triple it. Although State funding has declined over the past few decades, it is still a substantial amount of money.

I always assumed The Citadel was private but they’re public too.
