GoldRush2:

There are absolutely outstanding professors and courses at a number of the CCs,

I second that notion. For kicks, I took a one-year course at a California CC recently. The professor there was simply amazing. My D has taken several DE courses at CCs and loved them. My teacher was one of the finest I’ve ever had.

And yes, the CC transfer option into the UC system is amazing. We know so many students that have done that, saved a TON of money, and were admitted into the UCs, including several who got into the “top” UCs.

Stuff is expensive as can be here, but the higher ed in California is simply fabulous. Several friends and relatives who had students apply to colleges have told me this, and we are so glad we’re living here for this alone (and the other great reasons like the weather!)
