csuci

I suppose it takes a certain level of hindsight and maturity to see it, but until sitting in on my first few classes last month since graduating from UC Santa Cruz in 2001, I didn't realize how...geared towards nineteen-year-olds undergraduate classes are. The professors even behave differently. They dumb themselves down, seemingly on purpose. I'll admit, it could simply be that CSU Channel Islands is just a shit school - I already feel that they lack some of even the most basic resources that every institute of higher learning needs - for example, a library of reasonable scope and size. Medical coverage for enrolled students. Maybe UCSC was just that good, or the CSU system is just that bad, or perhaps the situation of federal and state funding for public universities is just incredibly dire.

Whatever it is, I don't intend to stay at CSUCI past the current semester.
