<p>ForeIn: will you really be saving money if you move away from home to attend a community college? Do you know anyone in SoCal, or are you just going to move down there by yourself?</p>
<p>Frankly, my suggestion would be to stay at home, go to a CC near by, then figure out which UC you want to attend. You might want to consider just waiting to move until you transfer to a UC.</p>
<p>Take a few trips down to So Cal during the next 2 years to get a feel for certain areas.</p>
<p>I understand your need for something new. But it wouldn’t be good if you moved all the way down there, then decided you hated it.</p>
