The classes for Design are so impacted....i won't be able to graduate on time....ill be there another quarter or two, and I've already spent the last two summers catching up on classes i need. I don't want to spend any more money. I already work 25 hours a week plus classes, I'd rather focus on school than whether or not I will be able to pay rent. If the classes werent so impacted I wouldnt have had to pay extra to take summer classes and thus wouldnt be as worried about my finances.
