How much does veterinary school cost?

How much is the cost of living for 18-19 year old male, going to school in east LA?

• so atm, i'm 17 attending high school at san jose. i'm planning to move out and go to los angeles state after. from what i researched, east LA has a lot of gang related/crime rate, etc higher than other places but i don't mind because the living price seem to be a lot cheaper if i am not wrong.. i really want to move out after high school but still unsure if i am capable of yet.. i haven't ever asked my parents for money since 8th grade which is like 3 years already and i'm doing fine. i was able to find jobs on craiglist and i have made around 3 grant total from part time jobs in 3 years of high school. i'm just trying to prove my point that i can make my own money at a limited amount and i know the that living on my own will need a lot more but please help me out here. what i have researched, they say there are apartment for 1 bedroom ranging around 400-800 at east LA. school at LA is 3-4k each year but my financial aids will cover that and actually be giving me an extra 1-2 grant per semester. which is the main reason why i want to go here, because it seem to be the cheapest cost of living around.. so just say i rent apartment for 400, (x12) a year = 4800 and food with etc. im guessing around another grant. so each year i would need around 5800. x 4 years of school, i would need a total of 24,000. i think other than the rent, only gas would be a big financial issue for me. i have no experience of paying all these or living on my own so fix me if i'm wrong! so my question is how much do you think i need to have each year if i want to move out alone and go to school at east los angeles? (csula aka los angeles state) what i'm guessing would be 6-7k, correct me if i'm wrong because i just want to know how much i need to save up by the end of high school. i put on financial aid that me and my fam makes 0 income so i also get the max they give so paying for school isn't really a problem to me. plus i will know to buy books on my own. also i am vietnamese-american. i am pretty amiable and capable of getting along with any type of people as long as they are willing to but i have never been to east LA whatsoever and as of what i know, majority of the gangs there are mexican gangs. i am not a racist or anything but i do know that gang members are often bias to other race than their own or similarity. will i have other problems than the financial issues i been talking about? (especially racial enmity)

• Answer:

  Yikes, any apartment within 40 miles of downtown los angeles for less than 700 bucks a month will be nothing pretty!!!!!!!!
