<p>Hi, I’m not sure how much money we actually have to pay. Also, it says total aid is 24000~ with about 8000~ each fall, winter, and spring. Also, if i go into shopping sheet, it says the net cost is 24000, which doesn’t make sense. How much money do we actually have to pay? I thought tuition would be cheaper than UC’s…

<p>You have to take into account that the school estimates about $5000 worth of book and miscellaneous expenses. I’m reality you may need less aid. My freshmen year I only had about $20000 in aid and didn’t need much more for books since I bought used or found PDFs. </p>
<p>Hi, thank you for your response. Do i have to pay tuition each year or can i take out loans each year and pay them after college(as in debt)? sorry, I’m really confused. How much is the actual cost of attendance and how much aid do people usually receive? And, how much do people actually pay each year if (cost of attendance-financial aid=?) </p>
<p>You pay by the quarter. Actual cost after you register (for 12 units), is about 1800, not including books or housing or anything else. Aid will vary based on need. I received $4,000 from the pell grant and about $1,500 from the Cal grant.</p>
<p>Yeah it’s all depends on your financial situation. I get about $13,000 in total aid each year. </p>
