Financial Aid
None...possibly loans?

Any regrets
1. Not studying as much as I should have...as a matter of fact, I should be studying for finals. Nopey nope nope.

2. Don't take all writing/reading courses in one semester.

3. STUDY...or force yourself to study.

4. I should have tried harder so I could have possibly got a higher GPA in these two yeras, and have an extremely good chance of getting into a top 10 grad school.

5. Accounting...bleh.

6. Not going visiting each campus more than once or getting a tour guide for some of them.

7. Don't take important classes online.

8. Don't take classes or don't pick a major that you are not interested or you can't see yourself in.

9. (this is not my regret...but future advice)...EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES...(as Startsky and Hutch would say) DO IT!

10. Regrets don't matter obviously...live in the moment...not the present, or past...so disregard all these regrests I just said ...live in the moment.

Housing
On Campus (Haven't decided which one?)

not decided yet


Financial Aid
none at the moment

Any regrets
My biggest regret is that I took a ton of silly, worthless classes. I spent my first year as a graphic design major, so I have quite a few art classes that won't fulfill any requirements after I transfer. Looking back, I wish I had taken more science or foreign language courses. Secondly, I wish I hadn't been so immature my first year of community college; I really could have pulled a better GPA.

Housing
I'll be living in an off-campus, university owned apartment. Also, I'll be rooming with one of my friends from my community college who was also accepted to UCLA, so I won't have to gamble on getting a good roomate.
