Estimated Living and Personal Expenses
The estimated monthly living expenses provided below vary significantly depending on the student's situation and represent a typical cost of living one can expect in Southern California. For example, some of our students live at home and don’t pay rent, but commute and spend money on gas or transportation. Since MBKU is located in a safe residential area, many students live near campus and walk to class, therefore paying rent but having low transportation costs. Students may also choose to share a room or carpool to further reduce the estimated expenses.
| Expenses | Cost |
|---|---|
| Rent/ Utilities | $1,600/ mo |
| Food/ Personal Expenses | $650/ mo |
| Transportation | $700/ mo |
| Healthcare* | Varies |
* Healthcare insurance is required by the state of California. MBKU does not provide insurance plans, allowing students to select whichever option best suits their needs and budget. All students have access to primary care at Ketchum Health Family Medicine located at Ketchum Health.
