<p>Personally, the budget cuts have not affected me (I'm a MCB major), but those of you who think that only public education is suffering in this economy, you are wrong. The Ivies have also struggling. I wanted to post this before, but i was too lazy to go and find all the articles. But someone else on CC posted this so here you go:</p>

<p>This is not to start an intense debate here, but just to put it out that we are not alone.</p>

<p>Harvard still has tens of billions more in endowment money.
And very wealthy and loyal alumni, and very persuasive fundraisers.
And a smaller student body to educate.
And they are not dependent on money from a state teetering on the edge of insolvency.</p>

<p>Two decades ago, Harvard still offered world renown education with an endowment of less than 5 billion dollars. They will definitely be able to get by with however many billions they have now.</p>

<p>I actually think Berkeley will be able to get by also. I think some of the other UCs might fall for good, but I think berkeley will stay strong even after this crisis.</p>
