Make an appointment with the Transfer Advisor at your community college, and find out about the whole process. Community College and then transferring is an excellent choice for many students. You will almost certainly save a boat-load of money.

You do need to know that most public universities do not offer much financial aid to out-of-state students. If you were to be admitted to UCB, you would be expected to pay approximately $55,000 each year. Can your family come up with that kind of money? A better option might be to complete your BArch at U of Memphis, end then pursue an MArch at UCB or another university. If you do well enough in your BArch program, you might be offered some type of graduate assistantship which would help pay for grad school.
