California also takes a large number of unqualified students who clog up the introductory classes, and then, drop out, having wasted their time and the state's money. And a gym is one thing, but a Pilates studio is a small facility, for only a few, with very expensive equipment. California makes it too easy to become a state resident.

Write about undergraduate studies once you've had a real experience at a real college, not Devry. Hispanic Pundit (Alfonso Trujillo), your screed was damn unreadable and made no sense.

Each is the flagship research institution in a state with a dramatically smaller population than California. You could have selected Michigan State or Virginia Tech, which are more strictly comparable R1 institutions. Michigan is a lot closer to Berkeley than UCLA in terms of institutional profile. Low population states almost always have higher proportions of out of state residents. Here in Oklahoma we have a fair proportion of out of state students (because Texans and Californians come to school here), but to suggest that represents a failure to serve the residents of the state is at least a little misleading. We're on the same side of the argument and I agree that most citizens have very few clues about how higher ed. is financed. I'd just rather see you support the argument in a different way.
