The UC’s are going to he $50,000+ For OOS so you might want to look at other options. Cal States will be less, but still no FA. if you want So. Cal., you might look at Cal State San Marcos which is a little north and inland to SDSU but still near the beach. Maybe CS Long Beach also? You might also consider Santa Barbara City College which would enable you to feed into UCSB. It is a beautiful campus right across from the beach. As long as you do OK it would be easy to transfer and might make itore feasible economically.

<p>Yeah, I am aware that UCSB will be $50k. When it comes down to it, I am simply going to have to decide what kind of financial situation I want to risk putting myself in. UCSB is literally my dream school, but the real decision comes when I have to decide if it is worth it. SDSU will be a bit more manageable, and I will most likely be willing to just get loans for whatever price that may be. But again, I want nothing more than to attend UCSB. It’s just unfortunate that I am OOS. </p>

<p>SBCC has definitely been something I have considered, and to be honest I’m not sure why I don’t consider it more highly. I guess it’s a pride thing. I have worked so hard in high school to attend a university, so why attend a CC and essentially put all of that work to waste? That might be a poor mindset, and I realize that, but it is just something I can’t avoid.</p>
