[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The UCs are overcrowded and chaotic. Hope you are ready to pay for more than 8 semesters because kids have to stay longer since they can’t get the necessary classes to graduate [/quote]

California schools are always a target, but the fact is they provide an affordable accessible higher education, and are a critical tool for social mobility while also being top research institutes.

They are not, and never have been, plush, roll out the red carpet institutions. 
However you will graduate with little debt and receive a pretty outstanding education. If you need to be hand held, they’re probably not the right school.

In fact it’s very against the culture to want to be hand held. Try telling the Berkeley subreddit that you want to have something timely done, and they’ll mock you for being entitled. It’s a culture that embraces being independent and challenged to defend for yourself.[/quote]

exactly. I attended a SLAC at the same time my sister and brother were at CAL. I’ll always remember watching my sister go through the insane process of trying to register for classes. Meanwhile, I got sick on the day of registration and was unable to complete my forms. The next day I got a call from the Registrar telling me she had signed me up for everything I wanted, even contacting professors to get approval as needed![/quote]

This is a reminder that many LAC are $90k and UCLA is about $38k. In fact, many students attend for far less thanks to generous need-based grants and scholarships.

It’s a public university. It’s messy but it works. UCLA is a gorgeous vibrant campus with guaranteed housing all four years, a feat in a city with a housing crisis.

The food is amazing, the weather is perfect and students have access to events, arts, world-renowned speakers, sports and culture. There is something for everyone. Most students get into classes they need, eventually.  I give you that customer service sucks and it’s an area that needs improvement.

But it’s a pretty special place to be otherwise.

It’s over $70,000 for oos students which op’’s child is.  Also housing is guaranteed but kids are doubled up in rooms because they still don’t have enough.  [/quote]
