Is going to a UC worth it?

Obviously, if money is the primary driver, perhaps the additional cost to go to a UC is not worth it to you. However, if pedigree is important (it often is in some fields and hiring companies), a UC is higher regarded than a CSU, just as Stanford/Ivy’s are higher regarded than UC’s.

How can I get out of state tuition cheaper?

Here are some tips that will help make going to an out-of-state college more affordable:

  1. Attend a state school in an “academic common market”
  2. Become a resident of the state.
  3. Seek waivers.
  4. Military members and their dependents can attend state schools at the in-state tuition cost.

Why is out of state tuition so high?

Schools’ reasoning for charging higher out-of-state tuition is because non-resident students’ come from families who haven’t paid tax dollars to the state, and thus to the school. Out-of-state tuition brings in more revenue to the school, which can be used for a variety of purposes.
