<p>California's</a> Crisis Hits Its Prized Universities - Yahoo! News</p>
<p>That is just effed up! Man! Paying more tuition means that people who are barely paying their tuition (like me) will have to take out more loans or become a part-time student (which i don't want to!)</p>
<p>Your thoughts?</p>
<p>They do not understand the rank and importance of UC system, I came to the US about 17 months ago and believe me, a UC and its education are highly ranked in the third world countries.</p>
<p>All due to California’s f****d up core budget system, I should’ve accepted MIT’s offer of admission but UCSD was almost free for me after everything but now if the Cal Grants get cut, most likely they will, I will have to pay $8000 which I am not very capable of myself.</p>

<p>Wow…I graduated at the right time. While attending UCSD I truly believed that the advancements being made would produce a university far more prestigious in decades to come, but this crisis is a giant step backward for the entire system. Even if it only last for a couple years it might take much, much longer to rebound.</p>
<p>***…that darn schwarzenegger needs to get his priorities straight!! spending on prisons while cutting back on education??? what has this world come to!! >[</p>
<p>I really hate what our government leaders are doing right now and they definitely need to get their act together.</p>
<p>But as to the whole “raise tution” thing, I’m not surprised in the least bit. I read an article just over 5 months ago that said that tall the big UC campuses will increase their tution to about 32K (this includes UCSD) while the other campuses slightly increase theirs.</p>
<p>I know! I hate how they are not valuing education. Cutting this budget area is NOT the right choice.</p>
