<p>Outside of classes and activities, I was surprised to find out I could work as much as I could (25+ hours a week), but my nights and weekends are gone though. </p>

<p>What’s your major? Do you have AP units or community college courses under your belt? It’s very possible to finish in three years, depending on the major.</p>

<p>If you’re not paying SHIP, you better have health insurance otherwise.</p>

<p>live in the co-op</p>

<p>Enroll in summer sessions. Not only will you graduate faster, but your summer tuition, regardless of California residency, is the same as in-state tuition for the academic year. :rolleyes:</p>

7

<p>apply for those small, obscure scholarships…they may seem little but they add up quick…plus, there’s usually not that many ppl applying</p>

<p>yea ari, i was thinking the same thing. btw, whats the deal on getting instate residency?</p>

<p>flopsy can you elaborate on the summer session tuition? i was under the impression its a certain amount per unit, which can become very expensive.</p>

<p>Yes, but it’s $136 per unit + misc. fees. I meant that the summer sessions tuition is a lot closer to in-state tuition for out-of-state students, assuming you’re taking a typical quarter’s load. If you’re taking ~18 units over the summer, it’s actually quite comparable to the in-state tuition + misc. fees which is ~$3,000 per quarter. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>getting in-state residency seems like a whole lot of work…
