<p>The site for Berkeley states that nearly half of all students receive some sort of financial aid from the school. Is this true? If so, how much...?</p>
<p>depends on your efc</p>
<p>This varies WILDLY. </p>
<p>For me, I have my need covered plus a little extra (in loans), which approaches CoA (except that they routinely give me about $10k in PLUS loans, which I always refuse).</p>
<p>Yeah it depends really... family income's a big factor</p>
<p>With the Berkeley undergrad scholarship, pell grant, and university fee grants, I don't have to pay any tuition money, but I still have to take out some loans for rent/food/books, etc</p>
