Don't know much biology

[cyrano]

So initially I was going to ask "UCSJ or U Santa Clara" but since I am the stupid, I searched for UC Santa Cruz and wow that looks attractive too. So, compare and contrast, students, considering that I'm probably looking at continuing either my History studies or my Political Science studies, or both. I'm leery of Santa Clara because it's not in the UC system and thus probably more expensive.

EDIT: Except of course that there is no such thing as UCSJ and it's SJSU which is still a public school just not necessarily in the UC system and thus possibly an intermediate class of expensive.

Feel free to ask me questions about this on Sunday, but here's a quick primer.

Private Schools = $20,000+ for tuition

UC = $15,000(?) for "fees" Because you know they just can't bear to call it tuition.

CSU = $10,000 for tuition (if I remember correctly).

Milage will vary by campus. And don't forget to add the significant costs of books and PARKING PERMIT!

I would NOT recommend UCSC if you plan to remain in the Valley. I reverse commute Hwy 17 twice a week and it scares the shit out of me (a cautious, confident driver).

Go you!

Keep in mind that I still plan to spend (maybe) a year at someplace like Foothill to plug some holes. (How the hell did I get 'incomplete' grades on Western Civ??) But yeah, I'll probably want to ask you stuff on Sunday. (:
And perhaps make a 'scholarly' icon, if this trend keeps up.
