Looking for schools for pre-med CA boy

[bluebayou]

<p>

Of course, the student and family described by the OP may choose to pay a premium over UCR or other UC to attend a LAC (since they have a $20,000 budget, but the apparent safety UCR is apparently only about $14,000, they have about $6,000 of budget leeway here). But that is not the same as saying that the LACs in question will cost less than a state university for them. (Also, if the student does choose to major in math, he needs to check LACs carefully for their offerings in that subject.)

<p>The California resident also need to check the website of each LAC to see if travel is included in the COA and how much. One of the LACs on the list that tk provided (that I randomly checked), for example, clearly states that travel is a “personal” expense and not included in its published COA.</p>
