Pick your preferred states, your home state, and tuition; make these “Must have” and check out the schools that appear.</p>
<p>Love this question. Finally, a student with their priorities set correctly 
I really do not know this answer but I do know nova in Tampa hounded both my kids in missouri and proclaimed they were affordable. Seriously, best of luck with your search. I hope you find the right fit. </p>
<p>The Carolinas.</p>
<p>Salisbury University is ~30 miles from Atlantic Ocean beaches (at or near Ocean City, MD.) OOS tuition is less than $17K/year. I don’t think you’ll find too many other state universities, with low OOS costs, that close to Atlantic Coast beaches. </p>
<p>The OOS COA at New College of Florida, on the Gulf side of the state, is ~$40K/year. Think about where coastal colleges and universities would have to be located. You aren’t likely to find too many in low-rent districts.</p>
<p>On the West Coast, there may be a few universities like Cal State Long Beach with OOS tuition under $19K. However, adding R&B and other costs is likely to push the full COA to over $30K.</p>

<p>University of Alaska - Anchorage
It’s only a 13 minute drive to the lovely Pacific Ocean!

<p>Why do you want to go to school by the beach? Is it to surf, study tidal environments, or do other things which make having a beach nearby helpful, or is it just to enjoy the beach bum life?</p>
<p>Lakes might also substitute for the beach if you just want a place to swim. </p>
<p>.</p>
<p>Its because i want to study geology or oceanography</p>
<p>Check out College of Charleston. At 27k, OOS tuition is higher than what you want, but perhaps you can get financial aid. Charleston is a great city by the beach. The marshland ecosystem in the Carolinas is amazing.</p>
<p>I know a lot of the UC’s are good for ocean-related stuff and geology. I’m not sure on their tuition though.</p>
<p>Do you have any other criteria? I’m sure we could compile a list of 500+ universities within 50 miles of a beach or something.</p>
<p>Eckerd College is by a beach.</p>
<p>Coastal Carolina (near Myrtle Beach, SC): <a href=“http://www.coastal.edu/marine/marinesciencecoursedescriptions/”>http://www.coastal.edu/marine/marinesciencecoursedescriptions/</a></p>
<p>Out of state tuition is about $22,000 but a good percentage get out of state tuition waivers:</p>

<p>UC not suitable pricewise, aside from the instate tuition OOS pays an extra $22k. A lot of non beach states have excellent geology programs.</p>
<p>I know several geologists involved in oceanographic research (primarily marine geochemistry). While two of them went to universities near the ocean, the other two did not. There are a great number of programs which allow students to do marine research during the summer. I know my school regularly sends students to LUMCON (Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium), and I go to school in a landlocked state. </p>
<p>What do you know about geology beyond that it studies rocks? If you list your stats and home state, posters might be able to generate a list of schools with solid to excellent geoscience programs (btw, University of Alaska actually has a fantastic geology program and professors do some interesting work in oceanography). </p>
<p>Im assuming if you were instate for UCs you would have said so. CSU Long Beach?</p>
<p>Flagler College in St. Augustine FL. Private, but tuition is not high.</p>
<p>San Diego State, Cal Poly SLO, University of Hawaii (if you are in a Western Undergraduate Exchange state).</p>
<p>Any UC or CSU is way too high for oos tuition. Sounds like the east coast may have better options.</p>
<p>San Diego State and Cal Poly SLO are both about $30,000 for out of state students.</p>
<p>this is the list of western university exchange schools where if you are from a western university exchange state, you pay 150% of in state tuition. The UCs are not in it, so for California students ONLY some other states won’t put their flagships in, but a lot of the CSUs are in it – Monteray is by the beach : <a href=“http://wue.wiche.edu/search_results.jsp?searchType=all”>http://wue.wiche.edu/search_results.jsp?searchType=all</a></p>

<p>frankly I thought it was closer to the beach than that. CSU Long Beach is, but it isn’t in the association.</p>
