<p>IF nursing turns out to be right for you then you’ll have a big leg up in transferring to ucla because you’ll want a major that ucsd doesn’t have. So while the average person is better off transferring to a UC from a CC, the average person isn’t applying for something their own campus doesn’t have.</p>
