Current tuition and fees for out of state students runs approx $6,800 PER QUARTER ... $20,400 per year plus housing. I don't know how expensive the housing is in San Diego, but I think rent is pretty high. My son lives in Riverside where a 2 bedroom apt is $1,000-1,200 per month plus utilities ... usually shared by 3-4 students. So that gives you an idea of how expensive it is for non-residents.
