RE #11
I don't know if she is a resident or not, but yes from what I understand, if you are a CA resident and you keep acceptable grades, Cal State schools have exceptionally low tuition fees, _for_ undergrads. According to the article, she has already earned her bachelors and is looking to pay for her Masters degree at Sac State. To the best of my knowledge, Cal State masters degrees are still reasonable, but they aren't dirt cheap like the undergrad degrees.
Nearly every Cal State and UC school suffers from innadequate dormatory space and as such on campus housing is at such a premium they usually restrict it to only freshman and sophmores with a few upperclassmen and basically no grad students without special exemptions.
Here's the link to the article:
