Ah, OK…didn’t realize you were from Illinois. Pepperdine and SFSU aren’t too popular with people out-of-state.

I loved Berkeley. No real ties exist though between the two schools…they’re across the bay from each other and in two separate university systems.

If you plan on moving out to California and settling here, you could go to a good CA community college like the two I mentioned. Classes are only $20/unit. This would allow you to establish state residency during your initial two years, and then you can transfer more easily to UCLA or other UC and get in-state tuition. You have to be a resident of CA for at least one year before you enroll in a UC, show you’re financially independent, and show intent on making CA your permanent home…since you want to pursue acting, CA is a great place…The link below has more info:

Good luck!



Classes are only $20/unit.

Err…for out of state students classes are more expensive…$185/unit…
