After class, Stanislaus students can be found at the student recreation complex where they can exercise their bodies after their professors have exercised their minds. Students enjoy spending time on the cardiovascular machines, weightlifting, and playing a pick-up game of basketball in the gymnasium. Outside, the center offers boulders for climbing, a track for running, and the intramural field.

Students enjoy friendly competition in a variety of intramural leagues, though, during the Covid pandemic, play has been relegated to Xbox and PS4 competition. There are also intramural tournaments that offer a wider variety of video game options.

Cal State Stanislaus Tuition Cost & Financial Aid

---

Prior to enrollment, every student and their family is interested in knowing the full cost of a college degree. Since Stanislaus is a publicly funded institution, costs are expected to be low. In fact, California residents pay around $8,500 for a full year of tuition, books, supplies, and other fees. Non-resident students pay over $20,000 for the same educational experience. Both residents and non-residents need to also cover living costs. At Stanislaus, the cost of living ranges from $15,000 to around $18,000 for on- and off-campus living, respectively.

This is only part of the story, however. Once financial aid is tallied, students find a much more affordable net price. The average net price for a year at Stanislaus is a very reasonable $7,400. These costs go even lower for the lowest-earning households, who see average net costs of $4,000 per year. Meanwhile, households with incomes that exceed $110,000 may see an average net price that is a very pleasant $15,000.

Academics

---

Every college student heads to their university to earn a degree that will help them succeed in later life. Thus, every aspiring college student needs to attend an institution that offers strong academics and the promise of a solid, well-rounded education. To measure academic value, researchers assess several different academic statistics. The retention and graduation rates stand out as two of the stronger measures.

California State University - Stanislaus is able to offer students a dynamite academic experience. Researchers know this because 87% of Stanislaus' first-time, full-time students are retained into their second year. This retention rate indicates that the vast majority of Stanislaus' students and their families are pleased with the instructors, curriculum, and campus culture. The value of the retention rate is found in the graduation rate, which is 57% for graduation within six years. However, that number rises to 64% for students who need up to eight years to complete their diplomas. Given the rise in students who must work through their college years, this eight-year window is increasingly common.

These academic statistics show that this smaller CSU campus is able to attract and maintain sharp and dedicated students.
