Hi,
I'm a freshman in Stetson University. - major in Business Ad.
My first semester GPA seems like around 3.5 -3.6
I want to transfer to decent schools like top 25.

Does anyone recommend me to transfer to Santa Monica College in California first then transfer to USC/UCB/ or those top schools?

I heard it's top transfer rated community college.

I do feel kinda embarrassed (sorry for my parents) to attend community college... but I think it's worth if i could get in to those colleges.

I'm planning to finish freshman year in Stetson.
Can I transfer my credit to community college? and can I also transfer in a year? -> as Junior level.

How hard to maintain GPA in Community college?

Does anyone recommend any path to reach my goal?

thanks.
