Advice to anyone wanting to go to school in CA:

Avoid state schools if at all possible. UC's arent as bad as state schools, but the budget situation is only going to get worse.

I've pretty much narrowed my choices to University of the Pacific and WPI. If it weren't for all the budget problems, I might look a lot more favorably upon San Jose State University.

From what I had heard, it seemed like a stunt by the college president to get more money out of the state legislature (give us more money or we'll cut engineering!). However, it doesn't seem as if the state legislature is willing to be threatened like that. It'll be interesting if it stays around (it'll also be telling if they cut engineering and leave in some more, shall we say, esoteric majors).
