I was looking on the portal to see if any financial aid information was posted. Nothing yet but it does have my estimated costs. I’m confused because it seems lower than it should be which is a little under 25k (out of state student). The room and board is only around 2,350 each semester. This seems very low. I thought it would be twice that. On the site, it is listed from 10k-15k for various plans. I’m hoping it’s this low because then I may be able to go. CSULB has posted financial aid for me and the COA is around 32k and since that’s a little higher than I was hoping, I’m really hoping now that CSUF could be a possible option.
I do not know where you are getting your housing costs for CSUF but if you look in the link, it ranges from $10K to 15K per year. http://www.fullerton.edu/housing/
Most Cal states are comparable.
I said I was on the portal and in the student center under financial aid, that is what’s listed for room and board. That’s why I’m confused.
No financial aid has been awarded? But got an estimate for the room and board, correct? Yes, this does seem off. I would call FA office to see when your final FA estimate would be available. Like I stated above, the Cal states are pretty comparable in costs.
Yeah, but I have been awarded some financial aid for CSULB so maybe Fullerton is behind? I will do that to find out was is happening.
Maybe CSUF estimated the cost as a commuter, not on campus resident. Many Cal states will assume the majority of applicants are commuting from home?? Calling seems like the best course of action.
Well, on my Fafsa, I did list that I would be living in on campus housing. I don’t know.
