[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, I don’t see anyone denying that impacted majors exist, that housing is a big issue at nearly all of the UC’s (apart from UCLA’s triples), that there are in fact some classes with more than 1000 kids enrolled, etc. . .   We are just being told it doesn’t matter, which of course is personal opinion.  To me, it matters.[/quote]

DP.  I have no connection with UCLA or any school in CA.  However, I find it laughable that you keep insisting there are some classes with "more than 1000 kids enrolled."  Please provide a citation.  And virtual classes do not count.  Show us one school that has a lecture hall of 1000 or more students.  [/quote]

I don’t know for sure but if I were running an underfunded under resourced school, I might open registration to hundreds more kids than the physical spaces on campus allow, and then just leave it up to the kids to make it a free for all get to class 35 minutes early to get a seat or be SOL. Because I would really GAF about the individual students as I succumb to the pressures of trying to handle the masses.

Just my guess.

Or, are those student stories fiction? [/quote]

I'm still waiting for the citations showing which universities have "1000 students in a class."  Because we all know that's a complete lie.[/quote]

You have fingers, and perhaps half a brain, go search Reddit. The fact that there are subreddits on the overcrowding topic at cal and ucla alone says something. [/quote]

You cannot be serious.  “Reddit” is your answer when someone asks for a citation?  
 :lol:  [/quote]

Absolutely. I typed “ucla enrollment reddit” in google. And the first subreddit was a post entitled F*cK UCLA Enrollment. And the posts go on and on. You should check it out, bruin. See what the kids really think of your ‘it’s not a problem’ school[/quote]
