<p>well heres the way i see it,
it is difficult to graduate from a CSU in 4 years, and it will be increasingly more difficult in the future</p>
<p>if you are a CA resident, csulb will cost you around 22k a year</p>
<p>so lets say long beach takes you 5 years to graduate
total cost is around 110k</p>
<p>if you go to usc, total cost if you graduate in 4 years then youre looking at around 240k</p>
<p>so 130k more from usc
but you have to think
that extra year youre not in college at USC (your fifth year) you will be working</p>
<p>assuming you make around 50-60k your first year out (idk how much roski grads make)
then your real cost of attending USC over CSULB is around 80k
not exactly chump change but still might be worth it</p>
