<p>It’s really bad in California. My daughter was registered to take a class at a local CC this summer and they canceled the whole session. UC and CSU tuition is rising quickly, classes are being cut. A young woman I work with is at a CSU and she has to deal with 2 weeks of furlough days in each of her classes. So they have to cram in the material in 2 fewer weeks.</p>
<p>We are thrilled that our daughter is at an out of state school (Big Ten). I recently learned that in the language she is studying, albeit a pretty obscure one, the beginning class has one (ONE!) student. Yet this class is happening. Talk about bang for your buck. And out of state tuition only went up about 5.5%.</p>
<p>Her scholarship, combined with the tuition hikes in California, makes COA about the same as a UC and if the trend in California continues, cheaper. Also, if she does not graduate in 4 years, it’s her fault, not the school’s.</p>
