Costs at UCI How much college costs usually depends on whether it is a public or private school. Most students attend state or public colleges, like UCI, which receive a portion of their budgets from state or local governments and can charge lower tuition to students who live in that state. Students from other states pay higher tuition. Your expenses at UCI will vary depending on your academic program, your living arrangements, and other factors. More than 60 percent of UCI's enrolled students receive some form of financial aid.
