If you move some place to attend a CC, check [Welcome to ASSIST](http://www.assist.org) to see how well each CC covers the prerequisites to your major at your target UC/CSU (and then check the CC to see that the listed courses are actually offered and you can get into them). Of course, some majors are generally easier to find courses for than others (e.g. math and history tend to be easier than engineering, since engineering tends to have more courses, more of which tend to be school-specific).

Note that a CC near a UC/CSU is more likely to model its courses on those at the UC/CSU. For example, Laney and Diablo Valley tend to cover UC Berkeley courses relatively well, while Cuesta tends to cover Cal Poly SLO courses relatively well.
