>not just getting a full ride to a top tier school to start with
stay pleb

yea but you are still going to pay more in those 2 years than 4 years at a state school

and I would say that the CSU system has better job placement than the UC system

unfortunately I fucked up my life

My fucking nigga. Where do you go to CC (if you've moved yet or already live there)? I still like in shithole florida but I want to move to SF so I can go to de anza, which is supposedly one of the best CCs for funneling transfers into berkeley and all the other UCs and CSUs.

as if UC is worth the trouble of living in California

>>468892
>>468902

Ayy. Doing the same thing. I start with CC in January.

Are you guys doing TAG?

>>468943
>he thinks living in california is terrible

y-yeah it s-sucks. Definitely stay where the fuck you are.

>>468902
I'm currently going to Orange Coast College. It's hella fun.

But be careful about which CC you pick if you plan on moving out here. I started out at IVC, but had to transfer after a year. The campus was tiny and there was zero social life.

>>468966
sounds like a plan, I've been looking into this shit extensively

What are you looking to get into bro? How is your GPA like? Are you close to getting your IGETC done?

This is what I'm currently doing. Just need one more year. I'm looking to transfer to Berkeley or Davis if Cal rejects me.

>mfw I'm saving thousands

>>469042
Cool, man. What is it like? Have any advice?

Damn I'm from LA but I went to UF in FL. Y'all niggas make me jelly.

>mfw take fl pharmacist license to ca
>pay fl tuition

>California native going to CC
>All classes paid for plus about $2250 a semester as pocket money
>Basically guaranteed admission to any of the schools I care to afford (CSUs)

Seriously, community colleges get a bad rap. If at least one of your parents are poor as fuck then only put that one on your FAFSA and you literally cut the cost of your degree in half.

>>469042

Where do you think Cal refers to?

>>469115
Most CC are commuter schools so people don't really bother to get to know each other. Get involved in clubs to meet people and to build a better resume. Make sure that you're taking the right classes in order to transfer. You don't want to be the guy on his eight semester at the CC due to poor planning. Also take your classes seriously. I've seen too many people think that they can cruise through a CC course. This might work if you're reasonably smart enough, but it'll build bad habits when you transfer. Finally, go to office hours. Since professors at CC don't usually do research, they'll be easier to talk to. It's like having your own private tutor.

>>469161
Berkeley?

>>468960
It's pretty freaking bad inland + demographic shift is insane.

Also #1 place for H1Bs

Little to no future in Cali + all UC CC funnels are overcrowded+overcompetitive

>>468956
Do TAG, smartest thing I've ever done and I transferred to Stanford with $30,000 in scholarships. They help you out so much!!

Any other Pasadena City College anons in here?

I'm from Los Angeles and have lived in most of the large metro areas around SoCal.

You guys are fucking insane if you think living there is good, at all.

The price of living is high, there are minorities everywhere, people are typically not nearly as friendly as in other areas of the country.

I moved to a rural town in the North-West and have never been happier.

Wait. So California will pay for your first 2 years of schooling if you become a resident there?

School or trade penny stocks like alzf ? And ario?

Azlf

>>468966
Oh shit I go to OCC too. What high school you go to?

>>469218
no

>>469207
I have visited SD, it was quite a nice city, really. Could definitely see myself living there.

>>469207
I also lived in both areas but the NorthWest if boring as hell.

>>469218

Yes, so long as you're broke the year before you register for FAFSA. And go to a community college. And don't get below a 2.0

>>469280
Maybe I'm just a boring person, but I don't find any community boring so long as I have an internet connection and a social life.

>>469278
>I have visited SD, it was quite a nice city, really.

You obviously didn't venture to the bad areas of San Diego that are slowly engulfing the city as more illegal immigrants pour over from Tijuana.

My cousin lives there and the rent is also ridiculous not to mention the insane amount of taxes you'll end up paying just living in Commiefornia.

>>469712
well, that fucking blows

You seem right though, I was looking at property and the rent was ridiculous.

bump

anyone else have anything to say about this?

>get out of high school and enrolled for the fall semester at UCSC
>$34,000 a year
>woah, that's steep
>white and middle class; no FAFSA help
>parents can only pitch $8,000
>insist I go to a CC
>nah mostly losers go to cc's it's high school 2.0
>suddenly parents divorcing, can't even do that
>now I'm joining the army as a 35M
>watching snapchats from friends at universities
>seriously contemplating suicide now.

Heard Santa Cruz is a great Uni. Either eyeing that, Irvine or San Diego after CC in Cali.

OP has a great mindset.

>>470436
Santa Cruz can be a real curve ball, 2 students from the top 10% in my class my got wait listed and while me and 2 burn out retards got in.

>>470436
>ucsc
might as well enroll at a CSU school

>>469130
problems with CC is that it is almost impossible to get the classes you want and ppl tend to graduate in 3 yrs instead of 2. Also you miss out on uni life and internship opportunities. Other than that is fine, I went to CC then transferred to a shittier CSU and will go to grad school with UC or a private school like USC or one of the claremonts

>>470411
wait till you see them looking for jobs

>>470448
Depends on which CC to be honest. Moved from an area that was infamous for its plague that pushed incoming freshmen to have to crash, waitlist or just try another way to get classes.

Now in this new county you never hear such stories and can get into any class with ease.

Honestly, university is overrated. Alot of my friends are leading successful lives, a few got their own businesses; and only two of them attended university.

I myself was in university, physics. Was pretty good at it too. Had to take a break because of financial issues. Traveled the world, worked in a whole bunch of places, some of which I loved.
Now I'm considering picking up my father's profession, becoming an electrician, or traveling some more.

You're gonna join in the army, do and see shit most people never will. It will change you, as a person (it did me). Don't feel down, life doesn't ask us about our plans, we just do our best to make do with what it gives us.
Do what you want, not what is expected of us (going to university, getting some boring office job, etc). We're all going to die anyway, some sooner or later. Might as well enjoy life while you can.

tl;dr:
Suicide is for pussies. Life is an adventure, do what you want, not what is expected of you.

>>470448

Yeah, I'll agree with that. It took me like 2 semesters to figure out how to get priority registration because the counselors refused appointments and spent like half their time recruiting high schoolers.
