Budget cuts hit community colleges hard

Its kinda sad, because community colleges are supposed to be the cheap alternative.

This is how it was for me per unit.

2009 - 2010: $26
2010 - 2011: $26
2011 - 2012: $36
-----------------
2012 - 2013: $46 < - Price now

Now it's still cheap, but it sucks.

^I think it starts to doubly suck when you feel you're paying more, but getting less than you were as well.
