<p>I apologize for mistaking the OOS tuition. I was unaware that OOS students had to pay both “normal” tuition and “supplemental” tuition. That being said, you can qualify for In-state tuition after one year. The COL drops dramatically if one lives off campus with roomates so I still feel as though the averge cost for OOS is around 40K a year. </p>
<p>Tuition alone at Stanford runs at about $43,000. It’s actually $60,000 + per year overall. Over $200,000 for a UG degree. Most people at Cal aren’t paying anywhere close to that amount. That’s really the only point I was originally making. If someone opts for OOS at Cal, that’s on them and their family and I hope that they can afford to do so. If they cannot, they are crazy! No doubt about it. </p>
<p>I’ll rephrase my comment. You’re crazy if you pay over 50K a year for UG at ANY school and cannot afford to do so! It just so happens that most are paying 200K for UG at the private colleges, where grade inflation is rampant.</p>
