California Universities Commit to More Transfer Students

I went to a 4 year university and honestly I wish I could have done it over. I actually got into UCLA(wanted to be CA...made it finally!!!), UNC, NCSU, and WF. I decided to go to NCSU for biomedical engineering. I actually did okay at first, but during my spring semester I got caught in the crazy lifestyle. I then decided to go to a JC even though I was against the whole idea. That was the best decision I had ever made and know I'm working on my doctorate. I also left engineering for biology and found something I really enjoy. I actually thought the students at the JC were far more serious and did better in the long run. At NCSU you were another number and you had to search for help or hang out DH Hill library. I urge everyone to consider going to a JC if money is an issue or if you have not decided on a major. I'm looking at $100k+ in loans even with scholarships, grants, jobs and work studies. All JC's help students get into a 4 year university but they also have great programs in nursing and technical fields. I urge everyone to do a study that will make you happy and keep your priorities in line. Take your time and do it right because its your journey!!!
