Misrepresentation. Let’s break it down.</p>
<p>Tuition
$8325 (CB 09/10)
$10938 (Berkeley 10/11) </p>
<p>Housing/Food
$15308 (CB 09/10)
$15308 (Berkeley 10/11)</p>
<p>Books
$1306 (CB 09/10)
$1314 (Berkeley 10/11)</p>
<p>Transportation
$614 (CB 09/10)
$618 (Berkeley 10/11)</p>
<p>As you can see, the College Board data is (despite being a year old) almost exactly correct with the exception of tuition (which was correct for fall 2009) - and that is because the UCs raised tuition for the fall of 2010 by roughly $2000.</p>
