CSU campuses don’t offer much in aid, so I’d have to take out $15,000+ in loans each year to be able to afford housing and such at CSULB or SDSU. The benefit of CSUEB and SFSU is that I’d be free to live at home and save on housing costs, thus putting money in my pocket instead of forcing me to pay more. As for the comm class, it would only be 3 more units. I’d still be well within UCLA’s 90-unit maximum, and the other universities don’t have a maximum. I’d just need to be in residency for four semesters/six quarters.
