Hello everyone, Im wondering from those of you who attend or attended cal poly slo, what the cost of your freshman year was? The Internet averages it being about $26 thousand a year but I’ve heard it could he lower so I’m looking for other students who actually already paid for their first year. I am considering the school but am getting no financial aid so I want to see if I can afford it or if I should go to UC Davis where I am offered financial aid.
tuition at SLO is around $8k, On campus room and board is about $12k depending on your selections. What you spend beyond that is largely up to you - but will be similar at both schools. Davis is around $13k for tuition and another $13k for room/board. If Davis gave you more than $6k and will give it for all 4 years, it may be cheaper.
My boyfriend’s first year at SLO seems to amount to between $19k - $20k.
