I have to disagree with SAEactive (a fellow CSU graduate) about it being easier to graduate from the UC then the CSU - 4 years vs 5 years. I think it's more the clientele the CSU serves that make the difference. A lot of the UC's are stereotypical college where you start at 18 and graduate in 4 years. the CSU profiles tend to be transfer or older students who work full time and maybe have a family which causes the time to get a degree to lenghten to 5 years. As for budget problems both the UC and CSUs are in a world of hurt with the budget proposed by the governor this year although the CSUs and UCs and definitely better off then the Community College system.

I agree about the "clientle" each system caters to. I have friends (who are actually cousins) that go to school down here in San Diego (one at UCSD, one at CSU San Marcos)...the one friend graduated in 4 years, after spending a year studying abroad, the other is going into her fifth year after transferring from a JC into CSUSM. I also agree that CSU and UC schools are a lot better off than the JC's with the budget proposed this year...I'm going to a JC right now as I get ready to apply for grad school, since I'm switching gears from my bachelor's degree, and just knowing how the price per unit is going up from about $11 to about $20 next semester is making me cringe....I'm going from paying about $66 for half-time status to about $140 for full time status next semester....not looking forward to it at all!
