I was looking on the portal to see if any financial aid information was posted. Nothing yet but it does have my estimated costs. I’m confused because it seems lower than it should be which is a little under 25k (out of state student). The room and board is only around 2,350 each semester. This seems very low. I thought it would be twice that. On the site, it is listed from 10k-15k for various plans. I’m hoping it’s this low because then I may be able to go. CSULB has posted financial aid for me and the COA is around 32k and since that’s a little higher than I was hoping, I’m really hoping now that CSUF could be a possible option.
