<p>Ok so I got my FA from Cal State long beach and it is really great:</p>
<p>ESTIMATED Pell Grant Grant 5,550.00 0.00
ESTIMATED SEOG Grant Grant 400.00 0.00
ESTIMATED State Grants Grant 4,428.00 0.00
ESTIMATED Loans Loan 5,500.00 0.00
ESTIMATED Work Study Work/Study 2,500.00 0.00
Est Acad Competitiveness Grant Grant 750.00 0.00
Aid Year Totals 19,128.00 0.00</p>
<p>The COA: is a around 16,000, so even w/ out work study I have 500 left over.
All my costs are covered and I think it's the best I'm going to get, but I REALLY do not want to go here. Its not like it is above my standards, but I don't think there will be enough resources for me at a csu. And idk if its hard getting classes with budget cuts and all. Actually I have no idea how budget cuts are affecting the school.</p>
<p>I need advice on whether to go here or not. I still am waiting from UCSC, but this one is still probably going to be better. And this one is way better than a private U that I really would love to attend. I just don't know its hard to make a decision when they are basically covering all costs, but I just don't want to go here..
Advice? What I really want to know is if in the end it will be to my benefit.</p>
