Does UCLA really cost 32k like it says it does on its website, or is there a way to trim that cost down to maybe 25k? I was thinking of living off campus my second year; is that necessarily cheaper? UCLA has been my dream school FOREVER, but they gave me no financial aid, so it looks like I can’t go. I’m not too keen on taking out student loans just because I’d rather save all that debt for when I go to grad school…scholarships also won’t make a big difference in the decision making either because most scholarships I’ve applied for don’t notify you if you win until after May 1, the day that the SIR has to be submitted. There has to be a way! I refuse to let my dreams and hard work go to waste. Help!!
