Using Columbia as an example, with current tuition of 48648 and 9 month living expenses of 21,699, if tuition increases at an avg. rate of 5% in 10 years tuition alone would be $79,242. If 9-month Living expenses stayed flat that would put COA around 101k.

Pft. Take on all the loans you want. Car. Pad. The works. When you get your JD it's the gravy train and you'll single-handedly pull California out of the recession.
