I've been thinking about NA versus RA too, although I think I've decided to do a different major anyway.
I think that CSU including textbooks means it's another $20-40 per credit cheaper than other schools.
Also, I think CSU being self-paced may be a big plus. I've done self-paced undergrad and non-SP, and I feel like on average, I could complete at least 3 self-paced classes for 1 non-SP. At grad level, I would expect the difference to be less, but I feel some students really prefer self-paced, or it works better with their busy life. I think someone who did self-paced undergrad could hate non-SP.
However, I've heard government jobs care if you have RA.
