On average can someone tell me how much it is compared to in state tuition?How much more does tuition cost for out of state students in California?Here you go, these are about what expenses will be, but all of these may have recently gone up or they may soon, according to reports:
Community College - $4560 more
Cal State - $9000+ but not more than $11,160 more
UC - $22,700 more
Community College, 2 year -
Resident $17,148 9 months fees (2 semesters) and living expenses + $5000 summer = $22,148 for 12 months.
Non-resident $22,148 + $4560 non-resident fee (24 units x $190) = $26,708

Cal State, lower tier 4 year -
Resident $22,000 for 9 months fees and living expenses, so maybe another $5000 for summer for $27,000 total.
Non-resident $36,000+ a year.

The living expenses are a very tight budget, there isn't much wiggle room to cut down costs.
The residency requirements are especially tough at the UCs, and it's likely the other public colleges will be following. It's unlikely that an undergrad non-resident can become a resident in the 4 years at a UC, you can see info on it and why on the college websites. Yes, there is a one year and one day residency requirement, but it has certain requirements that are hard to meet if your parents aren't also living in CA, etc. It states even if you are considered a resident at a Community College, that doesn't mean it will be accepted at a UC. Basically you must be fully self-supporting with proof (no relative help or co-signed loans) and over the age that your parent's income counts, and not have been claimed as a dependent on taxes for the past 2 years. It seems some of the UCs have more non-resident incoming freshmen than in the past - $$$.
Good luck!How much more does tuition cost for out of state students in California?Not a travel question, but....
There's this thing called the internet, by means of which one can find all kinds of info. Every college, business, etc. has a website that's full of info people might want to know. Any of the California colleges will have tuition/fees/etc info on its website.
One thing to keep in mind is that California state schools are very difficult to get into for out-of-state students. The college guidebooks will tell you what percentage of non-CA students each admits.How much more does tuition cost for out of state students in California?It varies by school, but it's roughly 3 times as much for out of state students.
Here's sample fees at UCLA
http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/How much more does tuition cost for out of state students in California?Do you mean for the UC or the CSU? They are very different.How much more does tuition cost for out of state students in California?most are at least 30,000 for tuition alone, then not to mention high price in room and board cause its california, so another 10-15,000 on top of that, then basic living expences, add another 5-8,000 a year to that.
you mine as well go to USC cause its private and cheaper. cause the rest will be public and expensive.
I would go with the California States over the University of californias though, because they tend to be cheaper.
For instance California State-Los Angeles is only 15,000 out of state tuition, then room and board which is expensive, and expenses still. Just search around. If you dont mind north cali, san fransico state, and california state-chico are cheap also. but for soCal i can only sugest California State-L.A.
Those would be the cheapest, and theres also community colleges that are only around 6,000 tuition.
But all of these out of state tuition is at least 3 times as much as instate normally
but theres also scholarships and the national guard as alternatives to paying for college.
