Capradio Interview: Mystifying Cost of College

It’s an exciting time of year for high school seniors and transfer students as they look ahead to attending a UC or CSU in the Fall.  But between the cost of tuition, fees, books, meals, and housing – the reality of affording it all may put a damper on all the excitement.

A detailed report by CalMatters Higher Education Reporter, Mikhail Zinshteyn shines a light on the true cost of college in California and examines why some students will pay the full cost, while others pay next to nothing.

We are also joined by Meredith Curry Nuñez, Executive Director of the Northern California College Promise Coalition, who can explain what students and families can try to do to lower the cost of college here in California.
