<p>With American private schools though I have heard that the big “sticker shock” price is really a lot more than what you actually pay, my impression (not sure if I am right here) is that it often ends up being only 1/2 to 2/3 of the actual sticker price.</p>

<p>Still kinda shocked by the price of US publics. I guess the fact that it is $20-30k including room and board is something but still… Student debt must be crazy high, if even the public universities cost as much as you say.</p>

<p>Actually California has one of the lowest average debts in the nation
