No need to go all the way there for 2nd tier UC OOS

+1 Unless you have the money in a 529, I'm not sure most UCs are worth the ridiculous OOS prices for a large state school experience (500+ in classes, fighting to just get the courses your need for many stem majors) cannot imagine paying $70K for that experience[/quote]

OP is a DC resident.  Us DC residents look at this differently than many because (1) we have no great in state options and (2) we get 10K/year towards the cost of OOS tuition.

OP. We actually don't qualify for DCTag so that is something we take into consideration in this decision as Pitt is approx 15k less.[/quote]
NP.. I'm originally from CA and used to go to SB often (friend lived there; another friend went there for college).  But I would not pay OOS for UCSB. That 15K less will be more like $20k to $25K less  per year due to housing costs off campus after freshman year (I assume your kid will want to do that eventually), the flights, and just general higher col compared to Pitt.

Just be aware of the financial situation living in CA.  It's a gorgeous place to be sure, but it's pricey.[/quote]
