<p>Wow everyone! Thank you very much for your views on the matter. I really do love both campuses but I do favor the San Diego Area much more. I have to go to school right now but I will be back to add more information. I appreciate all of this everyone! Thank you.</p>
<p>ps. I am 50/50 right now and June 1st is right around the corner. I am going to call my admissions officer today to see about this extension program and possible summer school, which will help me decide which school is right for me. Feel free to add more to this post; I will be back! :)</p>
<p>lol yup! Now I am comparing my financial aid awards! Finally got mine from ucsd. I have a net cost of around 9k at UCSD and a net cost of 5k at Cal. hmm So If I minus transportation and some other factors my net cost at both school with decrease. Cal seems to have given me a little more. But I am not sure that my award could cover the expensive housing at Cal… hmm</p>
<p>Anyway, I just got this nifty booklet from UCSD: The Village! Omg…so nice. Anyone else get this in the mail?</p>
<p>lucky,
I rarely got any financial aid cause I get some financial support from oversea… so I rarely got any. Yeah, the Village looks awesome. I will def. live @ village if i get single. If not, I am planning to live off campus. If I decided to live on campus, I don’t think I am gonna take my car. I just don’t see the point of takin my car.</p>
<p>Chris^^ There really isn’t a point to take a car. Buy a good bicycle! If I go to UCSD I am definitely investing in a swift bike but I might take my car since I might need it to get to the city at night. Make friends who have cars and carpool with them if you need to! lol</p>
<p>Berkeley estimates that $13,315.00 would be the average budget for one semester of attendance. I was offer about 3/4 of this number in grants/scholarships. Does $13,315.00 sound like it’s more than enough to live in Berkeley for a semester? Housing seems like it will eat my budget alive along with registration fees. I’m a little worried about moving up there and struggling to survive after I pay all my fees.</p>
