I just looked over your post and the questions you asked on this thread here. Congrats on getting accepted to CPP! They have a great engineering program here. My coworker’s boyfriend goes here for Mechanical Engineering as a 4th year, and already has found an engineering job with a company in LA.

-As for on campus housing, you can think about it. If you can afford it in any way (by taking loans, having your parents contribute if that’s an option, or by working while in school) then you should go for it. Easier access to campus and also will help you assimilate with college life. I believe CPP is more of a commuter school, just like any Cal State, so I don’t know if paying that much for on campus housing will be worth it.

-Not sure if CPP has things like book vouchers, but if you qualified for Cal Grant B, then your books and supplies will be covered by the cal grant, and the rest will be covered by Pell grants, SUG (state university grant), and the CPP grant, as well as other scholarships that you might qualify for. If you choose Cal Grant B, you will get the extra ~$1000 for books and supplies. Cal Grant A only covers 4 years of tuition. I think you could also use websites online that sell college textbooks for a cheaper price.

-Not sure about transfer programs, but you should look into their website for that.
