From what I've heard, California does well with schooling, especially for lower income families. An internet acquaintance of mine mentioned something about paying $46 a credit hour at a community college near him. Conversely, the per credit hour cost of a community college near me is over 5x that!
- wcunning 7y agoSeveral years ago, before it became unaffordable, California residents were entitled to education at any state school, including UC Berkeley, for free. Community colleges were very definitely part of that. The better question is what is the out of state or out of district cost of your friend's CC?
- dhosek 7y agoIn California, there is no out of district penalty for community college. Out of state tuition is expensive, but I think on par with out of state tuition for other states' community colleges.

- dhosek 7y agoCalifornia before Prop 13 was much better. As in zero fees, zero tuition. You paid for books and room and board whether it was community college or UC. But hey, at least the owners of commercial properties don't have to pay much property tax now.
