<p>If you are very undecided, you can go to community college. Since it is inexpensive, spending an extra year exploring different subjects (if necessary) will not be as expensive as at a four year school. After you figure out what you want to do, complete the requirements for the major you like (see [Welcome</a> to ASSIST](<a href=“http://www.assist.org%5DWelcome”>http://www.assist.org) ) and transfer to a UC or CSU to complete a bachelor’s degree in two years.</p>
<p>The disadvantage would be that many have very full classes due to budget cuts, and you would not be able to take junior or senior level courses as a freshman or sophomore.</p>
<p>If your family’s income is under $80,000 per year, the Blue and Gold Opportunity program at UC will top up financial aid grants to cover systemwide tuition and fees. This does not ensure that living expenses will be covered, but if you have a local UC that you can go to and live at home while attending, it may be a relatively low cost option.</p>
