I don't know the case for CSU students or UC students, but I know damn well that it is hard as hell to get into a class in the community college system.
As we all know, the economy is shit at the moment. That means that less students can afford to go to private colleges such as USC or Stanford, so they go to the UC's, then.. students that normally would go to UC's are going to CSU's, and and apparently, every single student that didn't go to a university has ended up at Santa Monica College.
*Its actually really annoying.
It's Tuesday, and I have to crash every class.
Not because I was lazy and didn't try to register for classes until the last second, but because ON THE DAY of my enrollment date EVERY CLASS BUT TWO were full. So now that school has started, I have to crash three classes and hope to get into one.
BUT WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T GET IN ONE?
Not a damn thing... I'm shit outta luck, and stuck 2 credits short of being a full time student..
WHAT DOES THAT MATTER THO??
Well kids, that means that I get absolutely NO financial aid.
It may seem that a J.C. (Junior College) student wouldn't need any aid, because J.C.'s are cheap. But that money isn't only for school. It's supposed to pay for my bills, food, clothes, and other expenses because I'm a full time student, and not supposed to be working.
Now I'm not saying I'm the only person in this predicament. I know for a fact that this is happening to thousands of people everywhere.
basically FML if I don't get into the classes I'm crashing...
