Hey everyone! California resident here :). I'm seriously considering Cal, but can't seem to pin down the exact in-state tuition. Does anybody know the current cost of in-state tuition for UC Berkeley?
For the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated annual in-state tuition for UC Berkeley is approximately $16,608. However, keep in mind that that's the fee just for tuition. There are other costs associated with attending college.
For instance, the university estimates that room and board will cost another $21,508 if you plan to live on campus. Books and supplies are estimated at around $1,132, and personal expenses are roughly $2,584. There's also mandatory health insurance, which is about $4,028, but you can waive it if you have your own insurance that meets the university's criteria.
Adding these all together, the estimated total cost of attendance for an in-state student living on campus is approximately $45,860.
Remember, these costs are estimated and may vary based on your personal spending habits, housing situation, etc. Furthermore, many students are eligible for some amount of financial aid which can reduce the cost of attendance significantly.
