UCSD In The Great Depression

I did my internship at UCSD in one of their neuroscience imaging labs. What's kind of interesting is they received federal stimulus money to work on their latest research study. I dont think the government gave money to colleges to do research in recessions or depressions, but it would have been interesting to see what would have happened if they did.

I think that during the Great Depression, my company would have maybe been somewhere in the middle. I dont think they would have been thriving since im sure a lot of people couldnt afford college, but I know a lot other colleges made it through those times. Even in the Great Depression, Im sure there were still people who could afford it. Im not even sure if very many people went to college around the time of the depression, at least not as many people as today.
