Is it worth $50,000?

One thing I should add - your cost estimate may be low. CA faces a huge state budget deficit due to the recession. Right now the governor has proposed a 10% cut across the board in state spending. One usual outcome is that fees for gov’t services are then increased; since the UC system doesn’t see its primary mission as educating out of state students, I would expect significant (as in thousands of dollars) in increases here. And that’s just this year; if things stay bad for a few years the OOS tuition could rise quite dramatically over the next 4 years.
