Attending several University of California campuses now costs in-state students more than $50,000 a year, shattering the notion of an affordable public education. UC Berkeley estimates annual costs at $54,674 for new students living on campus, while UC Santa Barbara tops $50,946 and UC Irvine hits $50,130 for those living off campus, The New York Times reported. Those figures bundle tuition, fees, housing, meals, health insurance, books and other costs.
