B.C.S from University Of California [UCSD], San Diego - Fees & Admission Details 2025

• The classes were tough.

• The first couple of terms maths classes were easy because they were a repeat of what I studied in 11th and 12th grade, but later they got very difficult very fast.

• I do not remember exact numbers but our fee was charged on a yearly basis.
• After the first 2 years many people chose to live off campus but I decided to live on campus, which included a meal plan.
• For a single room, rent cost around 1000-1100 USD a month.
• The rest of my monthly budget was around 800 USD a month I think. I also had an on campus job which paid 15 USD an hour

• I found the Applied Mathematics major to be more theoretical than I expected.
• I think that the curriculum can be as easy or hard as one wishes because there are a lot of options between which courses we want to take.
• I did some honors courses so they were extremely hard for me and I think it may have been better if I had taken the normal courses instead, but also I made some of my best friends in these courses. 
   

• Total cost for a full academic year is about seventy thousand US dollars.
• Fifty thousand dollars are for tuition and fees costs, twenty thousand dollars are for living costs (which include four thousand dollars for the base meal plan for the year). In addition, there are miscellaneous costs (for example groceries, eating at restaurants, commute, etc.) which will vary per person.
• Fees are charged per quarter, and there are three quarters (+ an optional summer quarter).
   

Course curriculum is up to date. They’re introducing a new school of computing as well, as many new majors. Had to look for experience on my side though. Not much spoon feeding as compared to private schools with dedicated recruitment channels.

70,000 dollars for internationals including accommodation and tuition.

Syllabus is great to cover the fundamentals thoroughly, especially if you don’t have any work experience in the field of Digital Design. The courses were fairly limited, so there were not too many options to choose from. Everyone from my program ended up completing almost the same courses by the time they graduated.

It is $11K per quarter. Usually, students finish in 5 quarters, so my total tuition ended up being $55K before any waivers.

It’s very updated and relevant. They emphasize the latest research papers and discoveries a lot and every professor is well versed in the material.

About $60000 for total program.

Course is quite updated. Courses have a mix of theory, systems, and applications making it relevant for both research and industry. Curriculum is very flexible.

For one quarter (3 months), $11000 is the fees and living will be $1400 per month. Students tend to graduate in 5 quarters on average, but can be between 4-6.

The course curriculum is well structured. With lot of electives to choose from and covers all the essential data anaytics concepts. Industrial exposure and research experience is also great with lectures from industry leaders.

INR 45 lakhs

I think it's tailored more for people to think outside the box. Rather than preparing one for a specific career, it prepares students for a variety of tasks in the future. Some classes offer more broad applications of content while some are somewhat specific.

It is broken down into school tuition, housing, and then several other activity fees. Activity fees range from a few dollars to a couple hundred.

The course curriculum is definitely rigorous but that is what the university is known for, it really challenges students and pushes them to do their very best. But I think sometimes it is far too difficult to their point where students feel like giving up.
