<p>UCLA will not give an out of state student a good deal. No UC will. If your family has $50k a year for college costs and you want to go to a UC, that’s great! But if your family’s college budget is more modest, UCs will be too expensive. </p>
<p>There are forums here on CC about nursing and about acting. My impression is that double-majoring in these two is going to be tough. Definitely go and check on those forums to see if it’s possible. Your idea of having a backup safety major besides acting is sensible; the theater major forum will give good advice on that, too.</p>
