[quote=FlyerInHi]BG, you proudly stated your brethren in flyover country have paid off houses, cabins, trucks, SUVs, expensive toys, etc…
Why would the kids need any loans? A top education by comparison is not expensive — just the equivalent of a few toys.[/quote]It’s NOT “the equivalent of a few toys” for even one kid’s private college education for four years, much less for a family with 3-4 kids in the pipeline. All those “toys” you’re talking about here aren’t worth on the resale market what you think they are.
If these flyover-country HS seniors DO apply to a CA public university (because their parents can afford non-resident tuition), of course they are going to apply to a campuses with coastal locations as their 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices. There would be no reason for them to choose a CA campus in an “armpit” location. If they wanted that, they could apply to public universities in their own states and pay far less tuition :=0
This is a large part of the reason why degree programs in CA public university campuses in or near coastal locations are so impacted.
Foreign applicants are less picky about location and more interested in applying to particular CA campuses which have programs they want to pursue.
