<p>Hello, I am a ESOL student. I plan to take credit class in 2010 fall semester.I have already taken the placement test in CCSF and Skyline college. The result is I have to spend 3 years in CCSF in order to finish my English class(the required class for transfer, such as 1A+1B). In Skyline college, however, I only need to spend 2 years. My goal is transfer to UCLA, and my major is chemical engineering.
First, I want to know CCSF and Skyline college which one is better if I want to transfer to UCLA.
Second, I heard some of my friend said the things we learned in CCSF is much more difficult than Skyline college. Is that right?
Third, I applied financial aid in CCSF. Do I need to apply again? if I study in Skyline college instead of CCSF.
After several weeks will be the register day. I really get confused to choice one of these college. At the begining, I wanted to study English in Skyline college and study another subject in CCSF. However, I don’t have car,I will waste too much time in commute. And the schedule didn’t match too. Now, I am in hesitation. Can you guys help me and give me some suggestion and advice? I will ready appreciate if you can help me. Thank you so much!</p>
<p>Hello Darrent,</p>
<p>As a former CCSF student, I can say that the diversity of classes is definitely greater than those at Skyline; however, I’ve heard that it is much easier to register for classes at Skyline, given the fewer number of students there.</p>
<p>As for academic rigor, many of CCSF’s courses are challenging–especially the life sciences, math, physical sciences, and languages. The English department is decent, as it has its share of good and bad instructors.</p>
<p>Many of my friends at CCSF were accepted to UCLA via the TAP Honors program; all community colleges in California have UCLA TAP programs, which means Skyline should have it, too.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
