<p>All rates indicated are for 2006-2007 and include dorms on campus/dining</p>

<p>Cal State Fullerton - $14,826
UCSB - $23739
UCSD - $21279
UCR - $22217</p>

<p>I see a rather significant difference. Now i would not be staying in a dorm or have any dining service, but the difference between the 4 schools listed (for housing/dining) with the exception of UCR is $500. So this is obviously not a major factor in the difference between these schools, primarily between the cal state and the 3 UC's. Not to mention that the 2007-2008 year will be rising 2-2.5k per school throughout all the CSU and UC campuses with the CSU's rising on average around 2k and the UC's rising between 2.5k and 3.5k. </p>

<p>I will just say i will not receive any need based aid, i could however receive merit aid or independent scholarship money</p>

<p>But really a 4k difference per year, actually more when considering all costs besides tuition is very significant. Just because the difference is dwarfed by the average price of a private (who tend to be more generous) does not make it insignificant. </p>

It amazes me that people with modest incomes in southern CA with non career jobs (waitressing, security guards, etc) can take out massive loans to pay for a 30k lifted truck which depreciates by 10% the minute they drive it off the lot but sit and talk to me how an education is expensive and isn't that valuable.

<p>And this has to do with what. Does it fit any particular demographic of this site? Obviously the answer would be a stern no.</p>

Good grades can come from multiple reasons. I didn't spend very much time in HS and was able to get over a 4.2 GPA. My sister probably with 3 times the work ethic has a 3.8-3.9 but spent significantly more time on school work than I ever did in HS. To say good grades come completely from dedication and not factoring in "talent" is not completely true.

<p>What is required in high school is not similar to what is required in college. Work ethic in college is what will primarily dictate grades for a student that is at least capable of understanding the concepts they are being taught</p>
