We asked your opinion about the cuts in the UC system.
I went to community college on the east coast and the rates are about 8 times higher than they are in California. I think Californians are just used to the low admissions, and now they are increasing the rates to meet the national average. But, it is still unfair that the class sizes are so big and there's no counselors available to meet with students. -- Brandon
I love it. Now these liberal professors and unions are drowning in their on liberalism. They encourage this state to give tax dollars to every cause that comes down the pike and now there is no money. This is a teaching moment. Ha. -- james Jolly
I am a student, oringinally from Pennsylvania. I attended a state school there, and now am paying back over $23,000 in school loans. I think that students here in CA need to understand that they have it easy compared to other people across the country, who don't have access to education the way that Californians do. The state is broke; deal with it. If you need to pay a few thousand dollars in "fees" to go to a state school you should realize how lucky you are that you are not encruing massave amounts of loans and that your education out here is so obtainable. You can't protest both layoffs and fee hikes- the money needs to come from somewhere! -- Allie
College is completely optional. College students should feel lucky that there is any sort of government subsidies for them. When money is tight you have to make concessions. I would rather see money taken from the college system than K-12 -- Jason
