So uh... who paid for you to go to UC Davis (for five years+) as an anthropology/philosophy major, eh? I bet mom and dad refused to pay because you didn't want to go to UW-Madison and get a degree you could actually use for some sort of career...
From 2013: https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/education/article2582867.html
But Brett Lemke, a fifth-year anthropology student, remains skeptical of the influx of private money into UC Davis and doubts the massive fundraising effort will find its way to students. He has endured the rising costs of a UC Davis education, living in low-income housing and penciling out tuition and other expenses at $5,600 a quarter. He expects tuition, housing and other fees to continue to rise even with the flood of money.
Decades ago, “there was a great promise made to students that tuition will be free as a public university,” Lemke said. “Now it’s a university for those who can pay. They want to have the largest private university in California, and they’re effectively doing it at the expense of students.”
