University of California and Cal State University are now considered unaffordable by a majority of Californians, according to the findings of a new poll.

The results of the April 2022 California Opinion Surveys found that even though 77% of Californians strongly value higher education, they have serious concerns about affordability, and how far a four-year degree will get them.

According to the poll, 60% of Californians believe UC schools — such as UCLA, UC San Diego, and UC Irvine — are not affordable. But strikingly, a majority of Californians also believe the more economic college choice in the Golden State, Cal State universities, are also unaffordable at 55%.
