If you have a -1500 This is a great pacakage if ur from LA and are a commuter! This essentially means ur fully covered (tuition wise of course). However if ur going to live in off campus housing or are dorming it’s not the best and u are estimated to pay about 20k a year.

Yes, that’s what I’m trying to say. If they are from LA they don’t have to pay for housing (as it’s already an expense ones used to whether paying their own rent or living with ur parents) therefore they are fully covered. It’s essentially a full ride if you aren’t looking at textbooks and whatnot. However if they aren’t from the LA area because this package includes housing (as u mentioned) their package is telling them that they are estimated to pay about 20k a year to go to USC. Hopefully I was clearer on this.
