â€œIâ€™ve gotten a lot more classes. Itâ€™s only my second term and I have 16.3 units so itâ€™s definitely affected me pretty well. I was like â€˜Sweet!â€™â€ – Jessie Pinon, Sociology

â€œItâ€™s been a lot easier to get classes, Iâ€™ve noticed. Iâ€™m on waitlists for a lot of them and I got most of them.â€ – Caroline Sadorra, Music Production

â€œIt has not affected me in any way because I have classes that [keep me] here until 10 p.m., so no one knew about those 7,000 seats and one of them was me. Honestly it hasnâ€™t affected me.â€ – Yanni Joseph, Anthropology and Theatre Arts

â€œIt gives me an opportunity to get more classes because I couldnâ€™t get any last semester. Itâ€™s made it a lot easier.â€ – Princesa Garcia, Undecided

â€œWell I got most of my classes through Pathways so I [was] basically guaranteed admission to most of my classes so not very much.â€ – Josiah Ruberry, Microbiology

â€œI do think that itâ€™s good though because last semester it was really crowded and a lot of students didnâ€™t get classes. I think that itâ€™s kind of encouraging to come back. I think thatâ€™s good.â€ – Angie Perez, Psychology

â€œPersonally it hasnâ€™t affected me because Iâ€™ve added the classes I needed. Iâ€™m pretty sure it helped a lot of students because of the budget cuts. That means students were able to add classes so it makes things easier for them.â€ – Philip Taing, Business

â€œIt hasnâ€™t affected me.â€ – Aaron Lu, Biology

â€œIt hasnâ€™t helped at all because Iâ€™m still trying to crash classes. The tough part is finding major classes. They added 7,000 [seats] but they couldnâ€™t add Biology 1A.â€ – Khalil Jammal, Neuroscience

â€œAn addition of seats? I havenâ€™t really noticed.â€ – Frank Murphy, Music

Our classes are half empty because all of a sudden they added a bunch of classes. I don’t know how that’s supposed to be cost-effective. It also makes our classes a little boring because there are only 9-10 students in them.
