How have you been affected by the budget cuts?

Mollie Westgate, 18 Undecided
“It hasn’t realy effected me that much, I’m still being supported by my parents”

Izaac Swan, 19 Undecided
“There are budget cuts? I hadn’t heard about them. Actually, I was trying to take a Japanese 2B class on Mondays, Wednsdays and Fridays, but there wasn’t one that fit my schedule.”

Jamie Samonte, 29 Busniess Administration Major
“It doesn’t effect me at all. I’m a veteran, so the G.I. Bill is paying for my classes. I’ve also been taking classes here for a few semesters, so getting the classes I need was no problem.”

Amy Martinez, 19 Nursing Major
“It’s harder to pay for school. It might be because of the economy, with gas, food and rent all becoming more expensive. Financial aid does help, though.”

Kailtin McSweeney, 25 Art Major
“Not much of an effect at all, not that I’ve noticed. I only take art classes three days a week, so I haven’t noticed a difference in my classes.”

Jared Hicks, 29 Architecture Major
“I can’t say that I’ve felt any effect. My student loans are fine, I feel secure, and I was able to get into all of my classes.”

Qing Xu, 21 Arctitecture Major
“This is my first day at City College, so I’m not sure what effect the budget cuts could have. One of my classes did have a lot of people that wanted to add, so maybe the college can’t afford to open up another section of the course due to the budget cuts.”
