Community College or an UC School?

@BrownParent Thanks for answering! I’m not sure what my family’s financial plans are at the moment, so I won’t be able to answer your question, but I guess according to what you said, going in as a resident to UCLA/UCI would make much more sense… Also, if situation calls for it, of course I’m going to have to work, despite what my family says. However, if it’s very much avoidable, I’m not allowed to.

@SDGoldenBear Thanks for the information! I understand, and in order to establish residency, my mother and I will be getting a California Driving License , and whatever else that was mentioned on this (http://registrar.berkeley.edu/Residency/establish.html?no_server_init) website. I understand the difficulty of trying to be a resident and that I have to stay one year or so in California to establish residency. Thanks for the advice though, I definitely will call the residency advisor if I get admitted. I also have never heard of the BOG waiver! Is it only a waiver for CCC, though?

@apocalypso Hello! I never thought about the online money-making option, I’ll look more into it. Thanks for the other information though! This is starting to sound way better than attending UCLA/UCI first.

@goldenclub Hello! Ha, there’s no possible way I could get into Haas School of Business unless I work my butt off in CCC, but I get what you’re saying. The figures for sound way better if I go to CCC though, so I’ll probably take that route instead. I never heard of TAP/TAG until recently, so thanks! Also, i’m just curious, but you make it seem like UCI isn’t that great, why? I consider any UC school to be amazing, except maybe Merced or Riverside, but I guess I’m just naive.

@iTransfer1 Of course, but I would like to know what my options are first.
