YOU chose to attend UCSB, knowing that cost of living and cost of tuition is high. In turn, you're working 2 jobs to support your education, which is something to be admired because that is the consequence of YOUR decision. Higher education is a PRIVILEGE, not a right. If you want it, you have to work for it. Universities operate like a business and compete for teaching staff and students. If you don't like UCSB, then apply to transfer to another school. If enough students leave UCSB, I'm sure the school will get the message. BTW if you believe it's "shitty education" then why stay there? I'm sure there are plenty of other colleges and universities in Santa Barbara. So yes, suck it up. What you are whining about is exactly my point in the post.

Is it only for the purpose of gaining a reaction? The blogger can't really be serious. Suck it up? Do you have 2 jobs to pay for your education? Have you experienced what that is like? The cost of living is so high at UCSB, my school, that many students I know already work full time and are barely making it. Our tuition is going up 40%, and as a UC student I am told that many of our services will still be cut come next year. I've watched this strain on everyone, teachers, advisors, everyone is incredibly stressed. It's very difficult to get the classes we need to graduate with a reduced budget for the number of classes available. This has made getting into classes difficult for everyone, and in some departments seniors will have to stay another year because of it. So you could say I'm another "crybaby" because I'm not okay with paying 40% more for a shitty education. What a terrible post! Is it only for the purpose of gaining a reaction?
