International students pay:
Fees (spring) $53.00/credit plus

Out-of state students in 7 or more credits pay:
Fees (spring) $53.00/credit plus

Out-of-state tuition
If you don't qualify for Good Neighbor status, the fees are as follows: if you take less than seven credits, you'll be charged $107.00 per credit; if you are taking seven or more credits, you'll pay $53.00 a credit and an additional $2,346.00 per semester.

Good Neighbor tuition
If you live in a neighboring California county, you may be eligible for the Good Neighbor rate of $82.50 (includes $4 per credit technology fee) a credit.


I guess you are either not a good neighbor or getting charged the out of the galaxy fee!!!!
I moved here from Solano County, and don't qualify for in-state tuition. Yes, my per unit fees would be $53 if I went full time, but then I have to pay the $2346. Why the hell would I do that? Instead, I'm taking the $106/unit hit on 2 classes this spring.

So is that break down a CC breakdown? The CSU and UC system is MUCH more expensive.

Gah, why must school be so expensive. It's a damn education, not a business.

Really? Were you taking under grad or grad courses? When I stopped going to Sac State in 2003 I was paying $932 for the same amount of units I'm now paying $1412 for.

You get what you pay for (mostly). Universities ARE a business. They have to work with the budget they have, even though some of it comes from taxes.

Yeah, just the thought of forking up $28k/year for a good mechanical engineering program floors me. Boggles teh mind.

That's $112k just to get my learn on!~

i was taking under grad. it was something like $1200 a semester back then.



josh, trust me on this... you can make plenty of money as a mechanical engineer with a lowly state college degree. hell, i don't even have the full blown ME degree, mine was Mechanical Engineering Technology. in the eyes of any employer, it's still a bachelors degree for an accredited university. my salary is on the high side of good for mechanical engineers 3 years out of college for this area, and it's identical to another engineer who got hired on the same time I did, but with the ME degree from UCD.
edit: also, why pay high rates for the full 4 years or however long it takes? all that matters when it comes to getting your piece of paper is that your upper division classes are from that particular college. you could go to a community college, pay much less, and sign a transfer agreement with the college you wish to graduate from. guaranteed admission is pretty cool.

Werd. Hence my enrollment in Truckee Meadows Community College. It's like UNR Lite.

It is. That's why I hated it so much.
