Different UCs=Same Financial Aid?

<p>Hi, just wondering if some of you could help me out–
I’m going to be able to check out my financial aid at Berkeley very soon, but the package I’d really like to see is the one UCLA will offer me (which won’t be available to me for a few weeks). From personal experience (those of you accepted to 2+ UCs), do UC FA packages tend to be similar? </p>

<p>Thanks for reading!</p>

<p>If not considering scholarships. Many of the fin aid packages will be very similar. However, of the two schools that offered me aid packages, SB is significantly offered a higher amount of federal/university grant aid due to a higher "cost of living" to complete school. I think the tuition is roughly the same but for some reason the budget recommendation for UCSB is 25k. Whereas, UCSD had a budget recommendation of 22k. Might I add, I chose the muir campus(la jolla) is freaken expensive!</p>
