Hi all, I’m quite lost on this whole process. I just graduated high school and am currently committed to CSU Long Beach for the 2017-2018 term. After visiting the school for orientation, I realized the school really isn’t for me and I do not see myself staying there for 4 years. As much as possible, I want to pursue my undergraduate studies at UCSB for Sociology.

I also heard about how UCs prioritize CCC students in transfer admits, and it seems you can transfer from CCC to UC after one year. Transferring after one year would be the route I prefer the most.

I researched a lot right now about transfers to UC, but most of the information is for junior-level transfers. Can someone enlighten me on transferring after one year? Thank you!

Bottom line, would it be better for me to attend CSULB for 2 years and try to transfer or go to CCC and transfer from there?
