<p>Budget cuts don’t really affect research that much (if at all)…I don’t know any undergraduate at Cal that wants to do research that is unable to do it, and I know at least for my lab we’re not struggling for cash at all… In fact, my professor has so much money he has to spend money on things he doesn’t need just to prevent the waste of grant money. </p>
<p>If research opportunities are better at West Point than they are at Cal then the research opportunities there must be absolutely incredible, because the opportunities at Cal are already endless. I mean, I work 25 hours a week in the lab during the school year and should get my name on a published paper in the coming months. What more could an incoming sophomore ask for?</p>
