@041191 I never said “did you even do the math?”. I simply asked if you had done the math. No one was rude to you. The fact that you have to add arbitary words into sentences implies you know this yourself.
Getting more aid is on a case by case basis, and won’t always offset paying double tuition and potentially higher living/food costs. As I originally said there’s possibility you might not even save money. But more importantly given your contradictory information (how are you transferring to UC Merced in spring if you just transferred to SJSU in fall? And your major shouldn’t take you 4 years at SJSU assuming you did 2 years at CC) and childish behavior in this thread I don’t think you’re ready to transfer anywhere so soon.
