Transferring from a CC to UC = missed "college experience"?

I go to De Anza too. I have to admit I’m one of those people who go straight home after class, but if you put a little effort into it, it’s not hard to make friends. There are tons of clubs, and the campus is pretty active - just yesterday, there was an anti-war march going on (I didn’t go because I had class, but I watched and heard some of it).

Depending on the class/the professors, though, you can actually get to know people in your class and become friends - or at least acquaintances - in a way that doesn’t really happen in high school. (Obviously not in a 100-student chem class, but, you know…) That’s another nice thing about De Anza: the professors really are great. Sign up for Wood’s globalization class. Anyway, good luck!
