<p>How badly will the Budget Cuts harm UCLA's Classes, Research budget, or financial aid packages?</p>
<p>Like all other UCs, it will affect UCLA pretty badly. UCLA has already canceled a large number of classes, reduced its faculty, raised student fees, and I’m pretty sure that there will be more to come.

<p>But overall, UCLA is doing fairly well compared to other public schools (probably because of its location and the amount of donations from alumni and celebrities and etc).</p>
<p>A simple search brought this up:

<p>Oh, I read somewhere (I forgot) that HSSEAS is not being affected that much, is it true?</p>
<p>I didn’t really do a hardcore comparison between my estimated aid a few months ago and what my efan ended up being. Though Im pretty sure whatever I didn’t get through the calgrant I got from the “Scholarship Recognition Award”. They doubled that for me because of the budget cuts. I can’t really tell the difference in terms of what I DON’T have to pay. </p>
<p>I dont think that system can last for too long though. Our country might be this way for another year or two, and dishing out a few grand extra per student is a major blow to their finances.</p>
<p>I’d rather have my student fees significantly increase and have to take out more loans than have services/classes/faculty/etc drastically cut.</p>
<p>I wanted to take intro to physiology or anatomy (physci 3 and 13, respectively) for a life sci GE, but neither seem to be offered anymore. At least not this year, according to the schedule of classes. There are definitely a bunch of canceled classes.</p>
