It is expensive but Room & Board is 16.5k for 9 months at UCSB, so it will break even in 30 years or so depending how you model it.

- hn_throwaway_99 5y agoI would expect a huge portion of that Room & Board is actually the "Board" component, i.e. food, utilities, maintenance, etc. The portion that just goes to the capital costs of the building itself (and the $1.5 billion is just the total estimated capital cost of the project), is much smaller.
