CalSO really that helpful?

<p>I might not be able to go to the program because i’ll be out of the country for the summer. I was just wondering whether i’ll be missing out or is it just an unnecessary waste of money? And can I just use the academic advising website to find the right classes for me?</p>

<p>I’m a transfer student so I’d have to consider the classes I had already taken when selecting my new schedule of classes.</p>
