<p>i went to orientation, which was overpriced imo. i met with my transfer adviser, i read all the literature. maybe they’re just disorganized or something? i checked the schedule a few months before my orientation and noticed many of the classes in my major were full and closed. i emailed the department and UCSB admin. and said transfer students have some kind of priority, and not to worry about the class schedule online because it doesn’t show available classes for transfers.</p>
<p>wrong. same schedule, same classes full. i would crash classes if i could but i need to be enrolled in 12 units in order to receive the maximum amount of aid. i feel sorry for people who are paying 100%, for classes that either don’t matter for their major or just don’t matter at all. like honestly, i think ethnic studies really needs a downgrade in terms of availability, definitely one of the most unmarketable degrees atm.</p>
