Omg!! Why is in-state tuition for UC's so cheap?! It's only about $8,000!

<p>Other things to consider, given the budgetary situation in CA:</p>

Enrollment WILL be reduced, starting with the class of 2009.
Erosion of quality WILL happen through reduced classes, resulting in more difficulty in graduating in 4 years, especially for impacted majors.</p>
