<p>from the different types of rooming? also, my dad’s work covers my health insurance until i am 25. if i choose i cheapest rooming option, live very very frugally, along with the insurance thing, how much cheaper could it be compared with the $26500 average?</p>
<p>experiences about paying for uc? my family makes too much money and i’m lacking in the scholarship department. thanks!</p>
<p>health ins is $1200+
do not have a car, that is very expensive
my DD sorority house charges under $8000 for room & board</p>
<p>My son shares a room in a house and his rent is approx $600 per month. He shops sales for food. Works 10 - 20 hours per week during the school year and 40 hours per week during the summer.</p>
<p>i am hoping to live on campus my freshman year; what are total costs for your kids (appx)?</p>
<p>my son is a freshman, placed into a small triple room, meal plan 7days/wk. total per quarter=$6110.02 for tuition/fees & housing/meals.</p>
<p>It doesn’t get any cheaper than slugmom’s son unless you become an RA after your frosh year and get your room and board for free. That is the cheapest way to go.</p>
