I honestly don’t think which CC you go to matters so much. In the end, it’s whether or not you finished the required classes before transferring and can you keep up a competitive GPA. I go to DeAnza College (it’s 45min from my house) and it’s a pain in the butt just commuting there due to traffic. To make things worst, any science majors (bio, chem, and even comp sci) students have a hard time getting the required science classes they need to transfer. In the end, students would attend DeAnza/Foothill (since they’re sister schools) but others would also go to SJCC, WVC, EVC, etc. while attending DeAnza College. I wouldn’t trip over going to a greater CC (if you’re from SoCal, I wouldn’t move to the bay area just to attend DeAnza and vice versa). Just do your best at whatever CC you choose to enroll it and you should be fine. Meet with a counselor and plan out your 2-3yrs to ensure you can transfer as soon as possible.
