Thanks! The university has been low key on this knowing that we are only more diverse than others and serving the locals (white farmers, Kmong or miao and Mexican Americans) instead of the larger world. Very few black and Chinese students so far due to local demographics.
People may laugh at this, but if you take a look at the rationale and scoring process, it's pretty interesting (and in my view, compelling and valid). When more items such as student success is included in the evaluation, we win. hahaha...and its cost-efficiency is simply tremendous… Students success is ultimate goal, of course.
tuition fee difference = tuition + fees - grants from various sources.
The average CSU 2015/16 academic year, resident, undergraduate student basic tuition fee and other mandatory fees required to apply to, enroll in, or attend the University is $6,815 ($5,472 tuition fee plus $1,343 average campus-based fees). At UC Berkely, the tuition is $12,972 , Room and Board $14,414.
The non-Californian resident tuition fee at CSU Fresno is charged at $372 per unit. If one takes 30 units per year, the total is $1,1160 (not including books, labs, room and board etc.). The total should be around $25,000. At Berkeley, it can be $50K, but worth it!
