[quote=Anonymous]OP, I grew up lower income, went to a CSU school eons ago. Something you should think about: if your kid goes far, you will have to pay for travel expenses to/from. Those expenses are not usually covered in any aid. It is so much harder to move your kid back and forth when they are far away, and you are low income. IMO, it would be silly to not take advantage of any of the great colleges in CA -- private or public. CA is huge, as you know. If you live in Norcal, your kid could go to a school in SoCal if they don't to be so close to home (and vice versa). There are of course, neighboring states with decent universities, so those could be an option, too. In some cases, those neighboring states can be closer to you than the opposite side of CA. But, really, the CA schools are so much better than those in the neighboring states. I have two regrets about moving out of CA: weather and college.[/quote]
