[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At UCLA look up whether your anticipated major is impacted.  [quote]Many, many kids can't get into the classes they need to graduate in 4 years.  In many majors kids are taking 5-6 years to get a bachelor's degree.[/quote]

I would never send my kid to UCLA.  It's highly racially and economically segregated and, while sports are well funded, academics are terribly underfunded.[/quote]

Posted this above--current/recent parents say their students have not had this problem: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1030067.page[/quote]
It really depends on the major.  The UCLA website still shows that most life science majors and premed courses are impacted, as well as many engineering majors.  This means that students may take the course as a sophomore but not be able to register for the corresponding lab until their 5th year.

My experience as a teaching assistant at UCLA was that all of the lab courses were also terribly underfunded.  Often supplies would run out by Friday so students at the end of the week wouldn't be able to do the experiment.  The worst part was that no one cared.  The professors and administrators just shrugged.[/quote]
