are my calculations correct?

<p>*note this is only for me, and to help me convince myself that going to SD is better than saving 3,000+.</p>

<p>UCSD </p>

<p>Gift aid = estimated 16,322 (pell, cal grant b, ucsd grant)
estimated UCSD costs: direct costs 9,753 + books 1,560, + living expenses 11,400 = 22,713</p>

<p>*books i will be able to save around ~500
*living expenses will vary where i live. estimate $650 for room, 300 for food.</p>

<p>total cost = 6,391*</p>

<p>monthly cost = $532.48</p>

<p>UCSB</p>

<p>Gift aid = estimated 18,794
estimated UCSB costs: around same as UCSD: 22,713</p>

<p>total cost = 3919</p>

<p>monthly cost = $326.58</p>

<p>Then I guess you won’t need our input. </p>

<p>xD.</p>
