Quick question! I'm from California and I'm considering applying to UC San Diego. Does anyone know about the in-state tuition costs here? Also, are there additional costs I should be aware of too?
Sure, I can provide some insight into the UC San Diego in-state tuition costs.
The total estimated cost of attendance for California residents at UC San Diego for the 2024-2025 academic year is $39,591. This includes tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, personal expenses, and transportation.
Here's the breakdown of the costs:
- Tuition and fees: $18,480
- Room and board: $17,325
- Books and supplies: $1,308
- Personal expenses: $2,049
- Transportation: $2,277
Please note that these numbers are the estimates and can vary depending on your lifestyle and spending habits.
Remember that these figures represent a gross cost. If you're applying for financial aid, that can greatly reduce these costs. However, it's also important to consider potential additional costs such as travel to and from your home if you live far from campus, healthcare (if you aren’t covered by your parents' health insurance), and potential study abroad fees.
Given that, I would recommend using UC San Diego's Net Price Calculator (https://app.meadowfi.com/ucsd) to get a more accurate estimate of your cost after aid.
