Agree with the PP who said registration time is tough but after drop/add my daughter has gotten the classes she wants and is on track to graduate on time.

Website gives 71k cost of attendance for OOS for this year, though it includes 3k health insurance. https://admission.ucla.edu/tuition-aid/tuition-fees

I guess op is going cheap on the room and board. Having lived in Westwood village, would not recommend doing this.

Remember that the change in methodology seriously affected the rankings--schools that traditionally accept commuter students and low income students got a boost.

It makes you look like a STRIVER, maybe a FIRST GEN STRIVER or maybe even someone posting from OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.

OP here: The headline is directly from the cited Newspaper which you would have known had you bothered to check before going on your capitalized ignorant rant. You sound like a product of a 3rd rate U.S. educational system.

Whatever is the worst thing I can wish for you without getting banned, I wish that for you. Go take your manipulative clickbait promotion and stuff it someplace bad.

My kid turned down full aid from a number of UCs on this list, including a $25,000 regent's scholarship, for an ivy dream school (not H, Y, or P.) Not unusual for many at ivy pluses to turned down full scholarships at state schools.

My dc is at a top UC and their roommate turned down Columbia and Brown for Regents scholarship. So it goes both ways. Lots of kids turn down non-HYP ivies at UCs.

My kid turned down Yale and Caltech for Regents Scholaship at UC Berkeley. Well worth it.

How much is the scholarship?

The universities which run on government funding offer students top-notch education for thousands of dollars less than tuition of prestigious alternatives.

According to Forbes, seven out of 25 universities ranked as the top public schools in the US are located in California, with four being rated in the top five of the list.

University of California, Berkeley, University of California, Los Angeles, University of California, San Diego, and University of California, Santa Barbara, were ranked in the top four.

Criteria for the list included return on investment, student success, student debt and alumni leadership and influence.

Berkeley's alumni include 35 Nobel Prizes recipients, nine of whom are currently faculty members at UC Berkeley.

Although athletic departments are not part of Forbes’ analysis, it should be noted that 121 gold Olympic medals have been awarded to students and alumni, and its teams have won 98 NCAA championships in the school’s history.

UCLA's athletic department on the other hand has been more successful in the NCAA, winning 121 championships and a number one overall pick in almost every major league draft.

Top 25 Public Colleges:

1. University of California, Berkeley

2. University of California, Los Angeles

3. University of California, San Diego

4. University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

5. University of California, Santa Barbara

6. University of Washington, Seattle

7. University of Florida, Gainesville

8. University of Virginia, Charlottesville

9. University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

10. University of Texas, Austin

11. University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

12. Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta

13. University of Maryland, College Park

14. University of California, Davis

15. University of Wisconsin, Madison

16. San Diego State University

17. Rutgers University, New Brunswick

18. Texas A&M University, College Station

19. Purdue University, West Lafayette

20. Binghamton University

21. University of Georgia, Athens

22. Florida State University, Tallahassee

23. University of California, Irvine

24. Michigan State University, East Lansing

25. North Carolina State University, Raleigh

The racial or cultural population of students on a campus played no role in the Forbes college analysis, but San Diego State is the only California college to have majority students being Hispanic.

Our DC attended two of the T5 schools listed here. It was an amazing education but OOS price rage was probably higher than Ivy League schools.

However, it was worth it as such a happy experience and made life long friends. The Californians were very kind in inviting them to holiday functions as we lived so far away. Also the sports were wonderful.

No regrets but the price tag was far from being a bargain.
