This has probably been asked before...(CSU->CC->UC)

Hello all,

So ever since high school my dream has been to go to UC Berkeley. I’ve visited the school and I loved and still do, and even got into the marching band program, but for some reason I enrolled at CSU Long Beach out of high school because I didn’t get into UCB.

I’m currently a second year at CSULB, and I’m realizing more and more the things I hate about this school (no disrespect to those that like it!). I’m currently viewing my transfer options.

One school I’m very interested in is University of Arizona; pac10 school, good engineering program, my brother graduated from there, and I’d get to do marching band again (which I really miss). The only problem is…it’s in Arizona.

So my question is, would it be worth while (or even possible?) to try to transfer my CSU credits to a CC and continue there, and THEN attempt transferring to UCB? It does sound strange, and I definitely regret not going to a CC and living out my dream out of high school, but I’m stuck in this situation and I’d love to get myself out of it.

Thanks for taking the time to read my dilemma,

Matt
