Budget Cuts?!

California State Universities are at a crisis with millions of dollars in state budget cuts, the universities are becoming less affordable and over populated. Many students feel like they are paying more for less, which is basically true. Our fees are raising by 10% if they don't get increased, the federal government will not fund CSUs.  Also, our classes are being cut! Soon there will be less enrollment for future students. In which, will delay the opportunity to get a college degree for the future generations. That being said, what about the current students who will most likely take one or two more years to finish college because they only allow to take up to 15 units or even worst they might not even get a degree! Families are devastated by the economic downturn. Many families rely solely on financial aid to help pay for their son or daughter's college career. Housing is also a problem the rents are very expensive, and the money is being cut. How is that going to work, with the high levels of jobless, and underemployment students? In my case, my mother is a single parent with the budget cuts and increasing fees, will sure bring plenty of stress over her shoulder. For the students that do not get financial aid that pay for their own education are force to take time off  either one or more semesters because they cannot afford the tuition.  As well for many students that have part times jobs, the huge gaps between schedules impacts the work schedule of them. Professors classes are being cancel and many of them are being over work, which creates another problem, poor quality education. I have always though overly worked and stress out instructors will only give poor quality education. If the students does not get the opportunity to finish their career will only affect future economy. How will a student who wants to do a doctors job do, if they never got the chance to get the appropriate skills, training, and knowledge that is requier to undertake the job?
I feel as thought the CSU officials are just increasing our tutiion costs in order to take home a bigger paycheck for themselves. Higher tuition prices and fees does not personally help the help, it's not in the students interest to not be able to afford a successful future.
