<p>I could see it if you lived in CA. Our local tuiton to amazing UC Berkeley is littles less than $14k, but with room and board and expenses the average is closer to $30-32k from what I understand unless you child is eating ramen every day and living very far away from campus with multiple roommates. In these situations OOS looks a lot more appealing. Even with lower tuition at State schools in CA you’re still looking at a minimum of $18-20k with room at board total.</p>
