Educational cost for California

Posted on September 9th, 2004 in General, Economics, Education by tavaresforby ||

I have been hearing a lot of talk from peers about the rising cost of college tuition in California. Many feel that something should be done on a state or federal level about this rising cost. Personally, I think it is only fair to look at other state’s college tuition before screaming about the tuition of California. I have gathered random college tuitions for the states of California, Nevada, Arizona and New York. For each state, I have both community and state college residential tuition fees. The state college fees are for undergraduate degrees.

State College Name Cost
California LA
City College
$26 per unit
California Ca
State University, Long Beach
$1329 over 6 units
     
Arizona Glendale
Community College
$55 per unit
Arizona Arizona State
University
$1987 over 7 units
     
New York LaGuardia
City College
$120 per unit
New York Buffalo
State University
$4350 per year from my understanding
     
Nevada Western
Nevada Community College
$49 per unit
Nevada Nevada
State University
$74 per unit from my understanding

As you can see, California is fairly cheaper in tuition fees. Especially, in the community collage area. California pays $26 per unit (I believe some community colleges still pay $13 per unit) while the state of New York pays $120 per unit. The state colleges are comparable and yet California is still one of the cheapest.

As I do agree with low education, financial aid and grants etc.. I feel that students should be responsible for a good portion of their own education. Education is not free and it does cost a substantial amount of money to run a college. Plus, it uses the taxpayer’s dollars. From my experience, it is very easy to get student loans to pay for your education.

  1. DarkStar Says:

    $25K/year. That’s how much my child was offered in student loans.

    Over 4 years, that’s $100K.

    Is that a reasonable cost for undergraduate education?

    In Maryland, there were public college increases of 17% in one year. 10% of that increase occurred in the 2nd semester.

  2. Tavares Forby Says:

    What school was this that was $25K per year? My data shows state schools are about $1300 to $2000 per semister. That is rufly about $2600 to to $4000 a year not including books. State schools are very affordable. Now if someone want to pay the cost of a private school, thats up to them.

  3. DarkStar Says:

    Howard University. That’s a private school. Let’s try Morgan State University. The total cost for an in-state student, living on campus, is around $10K/year.

  4. Tavares Forby Says:

    That is the key word, living on campus. Everyone have to pay for somewhere to live regardless if you are in school or not. Therefore, it is not fair to compare cost of living with the cost of education. The tuition and fees for Morgan State Unv come to a total of $2,859 a term. This is very affordable.

  5. DarkStar Says:

    The tuition and fees for Morgan State Unv come to a total of $2,859 a term. This is very affordable.

    There are “hidden fees” and costs that don’t come under the amount that you posted. My number of about $10K/year is correct. It was one of the schools that was interested in my kid.

    To say that it’s not fair to include living expenses is being intellectually disingenuous. It’s part of the cost of going to the school.

    But let’s say you decide to live off campus. In that area, an apartment will be around $600-$1000 a month. If you split it with one other person, that $300-$500 a person. For one year, thats $3600-$6000 a year. For Morgan, the room cost is $2150 a year.

  6. Tavares Forby Says:

    To say that it’s not fair to include living expenses is being intellectually disingenuous.

    Nowhere I said that the cost of living should not be included in the expense of education. I said, “it is not fair to compare cost of living with the cost of education (tuition and fees).” The only time when a school has control over cost of living is when a student stays onboard, which is only the first two years or so of attending school. After that, it is geographically determined. And like I said before, EVERYONE has to pay for a place to live, regardless if you are in school or not. Therefore, $2,859 a term at Morgan State Unv is still fair. Now as far as the cost of living, that is an entirely completely different story.

  7. DarkStar Says:

    But the $2859 is not the total cost, it’s around $10K; fair or not.

    I don’t understand where you are coming from in this at all.

  8. Tavares Forby Says:

    Let me ask you this, is it $10,000 a year if someone is living with their parents? And if so, where is the extra cost coming from?

  9. DarkStar Says:

    It’s not $10K a year if someone is living with their parents. If they are at home, it’s around $7.5K. It looks like 1/2 of the undergrads live in Morgan residences.
