plus istead of 4 years to graduate it takes student 5 to 6 years to graduate now. this is an actual fact.



Through years of budget cuts since the early 1990s, UC 4-year graduation rates have been going up. Both the students and the universities have much stronger incentives now to have students graduate in 4 years instead of longer. On the other hand, getting desired popular out of major courses may be more difficult.

so even if I go to a CC for 2 years and transfer I’ll still need another 3-4 years at a UC or CSU?



The CCs work differently, since much of their student population is transient or part-time – they just offer the number of courses they can afford to offer, and if they are full, too bad. So there is an increasing risk of involuntarily taking more than 2 years of CC to become transfer-ready.

You may want to go to the school specific forums and ask current students about getting courses for their majors, etc…
