Question

I want to move to califonia , is it exspensive for a college student?

Answer 1

Yes, quite expensive. As a non-resident, you'll be hit with higher tuition fees. For the California State Universities that means $ 2,724 plus $ 282 per semester unit (assuming Full Time enrollment). For the Univ. of California it translates to $ 6,780 plus a flat $17,820 (Full Time, not calculated by unit -- but still far more expensive than the former when you do the math).



It's also important to secure housing very early in the process. If you want to live alone, you're looking at 800-1,400 for a studio or 1,200-1,800 for a one bedroom (here in San Fran, for instance). So it's better to have roommates and split the costs.



Now, I don't want to dissuade you because Calif. does indeed have great universities. And it's a great place to be - very vibrant, cosmopolitan, and diverse. After all, Los Angeles and San Francisco are world famous cities for good reason. But do consider your resources and plan carefully.

Answer 2

I stay in Orange County and homes are way extra desirable than $40,000, regardless of the shown fact that.. in case you plan to basically stay for a 300 and sixty 5 days or 2 then what you're able to do is take that 40 thousand, positioned it into an interest bearing account and hire an house.. places like Fullerton, Anaheim, Buena Park, they are extreme-high quality places to stay close to to entertainment parks and basically 30 minutes rigidity from the sea coast on a reliable day and you'd be able to hire a extreme-high quality house (or a "flat" as they say in the united kingdom) for about $a million,200 a month... $40,000 might pay for some years.

Answer 3

Oh yeah..Cali is very expensive, but it also depends on where in Cali you are going. If you are college student however, some schools will pay your tuition after you have established residency there (1 year). There are LOTS of roommate options in the San Deigo area which makes it a bit more affordable. But then again, it all depends on which part of California. Good Luck.

Answer 4

I have lived in California all my life and yes it is very expensive for college students. If you don't have help from parents or a guardian you will be very hungery after you pay rent and other bills.
