Are you thinking you don’t ever want to return to CPP? I’d advise not burning any bridges because it has a good CS major. Try talking to the advisers on campus at CPP and see what they say about not coming back next quarter, but leave open the possibility of returning after you take a year or two of courses at a CC. That way if you change your mind in a year you’ll still have options. After a year and a half at a CC, assuming you do well, you could transfer to CPP, Long Beach or even to a UC if you decide that would be a better fit.

My cousin’s son spent a year at SJSU as a CS major, then left to take courses at a CC for a couple of years. There’s still the possibility for him to return to SJSU.

The risk is that you won’t be able to get the courses you need at a CC in any given quarter, and it will take you more than 4 years to graduate. Is that something you’re ok with?
