<p>@anothergalaxy I’m fairly certain that semicolons (and colons) always belong outside of quotation marks. </p>
<p>Regardless of who is correct (I am :P), the point was that far too many people use “loose” and it’s just frustrating.</p>
<p>Edit: I may as well answer the question that you had so I don’t come off as a complete ******. As others have mentioned, a lot of CCC classes are difficult with probably 1/3 (some English courses or introductory Social Science courses) being complete jokes. You won’t see any better at most 4-year universities and the professors at community colleges are generally very good. I’ve only had one awful professor (Poly Sci) and it was pretty much just him being completely uninterested in the students, which is something more commonly attributed to professors at 4-year universities. </p>
<p>I also think that you have a good chance of getting into Berkeley out of high school. I, however, had very similar stats in high school and was rejected from Berkeley and UCLA, but accepted to every other UC. I chose to go to a CCC and will be transferring to Berkeley in the Fall with a lot of money saved. If you don’t get into Berkeley out of High School, I’d suggest going to a CCC if you really want to get into Berkeley and don’t mind waiting (in your same boring town) for 2 years.</p>
