Can someone explain to me the allure of living in a trailer out in the California desert?


Also, don't set the OC on fire, I'd appreciate it.

The solution to overstuffed UCs has been to encourage students to attend community colleges for the first two years, then transfer. This led to the community colleges being stuffed, too, and with no extra budget to account for the extra students. This led to foundation courses for popular majors being overbooked for years.

A bright chancellor at one of the SoCal community colleges (I forget which) proposed a solution: raise the prices on the most popular courses to cut down demand. No, seriously. :commissar:

It's weird that my cousin at CSUF says its common to have 100+ student sized General Ed classes. Whereas my its common to have 15-30 student sized classes at my CC for common courses. CC tuition is not even half the CSU tuition.

e;The downside to small classes is if your new to the CC, your registry date is later than others. Therefore your're unlikely to get any classes you want.

Really? When i lived in Long Beach it seemed well-run. Then again I was using my Orange County, gently caress the poor experience to judge it. Care to elaborate?

There's a hospital in the center of LB, if you ever go to. Look out the window at all the urban sprawl/terrible city planning. There are nice neighborhoods and up-scale apartments(in odd places) that will look like orange county. In a low-income neighborhood, the streets are smaller and it'll look like someone tried to stuff as many homes/people as possible in the area. Those streets also suck to drive through when schools start/close.
