Answer 1 :
Any college can be affordable, depending on your aid package. A LOT of private schools are willing to throw money your way, to supplement the state and federal aid you receive. Don't rue them out....and, look at the smaller ones. Fewer apply, giving you less competition for their money!
Answer 2 :
$26 a unit for a city college so it's cheap. That's for residents though. I think it'd be triple for you. Rent here is expensive though - you'll all need jobs. I like the 3 Coastline colleges (Coastline, Golden West and Orange Coast) but have heard good things about Cypress , Fullerton and Santa Ana Colleges. By the way Orange Coast has the highest transfer rate in the state to cal-state universities and has more students than even UC Irvine. It's huge and will be going there next semester. Fullerton is huge too. With the state $20 billion in debt they're making it darn impossible for non-residents to get into or afford state colleges on our taxpayer dime, so start at the city college level.
Answer 3 :
Are you a California resident now? If so, about $14,000 a year each with living expenses to go to a Cal State school. If you are not a California resident, figure on about $28,000 each with living expenses. And that would be for a Cal State school, if you can get in. Otherwise, a private school will run you each about $35,000 to $45,000 a year each.
