<p>Which is the best community college to go to for Berkeley? i.e. closest to the Berkeley Campus and provides transferable credits for the science major prerequisites like Chemistry 4A 4B and Physics 7A &B. Oh and preferably easy As. Please and thank you! </p>
<p>p.s. I'm enrolled in the Fall Program for Freshman, so it would be great if you could provide info on community colleges that have classes on weekends too.</p>
<p>Well, in FPF, Berkeley City College is likely the most convenient, and it appears that many of their courses are modeled on UC Berkeley courses. Many community colleges model their courses on those of a nearby UC or CSU, so other nearby community colleges are also good places to look (e.g. Laney College, Diablo Valley College).</p>
<p>However, Chemistry 4A equivalents are generally not available at community colleges, although Chemistry 1A equivalents are available at pretty much every semester system community college. It is also not necessarily true that community college courses are easy A courses, since the equivalents of Chemistry 1A and Physics 7A will be fill with aspiring engineering transfer students and the like.</p>
<p>Use [Welcome</a> to ASSIST](<a href=“http://www.assist.org%5DWelcome”>http://www.assist.org) to check course equivalency.</p>
<p>Berkeley City College is definitely the closest. Laney College is in Oakland and is a short BART ride from downtown Berkeley. In my opinion, the math and science classes at Laney are of a much higher quality and more likely to prepare you for Cal than the ones offered at BCC. Same classes, same transferrable credits, but the instruction at Laney is so much better. I took classes at both to fit around my schedule, but, like everyone else I know who was doing the same, I preferred Laney.</p>
<p>Berkeley City College is like 6-8 blocks away from UCB. It has this awesome defried food place across the street called sumo grub. hmmmm But if you want to see which CC admits the most UCB students its probably De Anza college in Cupertino. I remember that was one of their big statistics when I went there. People jokingly called it UC Cupertino sometimes.</p>
<p>One of the 1B professors in FPF teaches at laney! He was epic!</p>
My bf went to DVC, and he and 6 other people in his physics 3 class all got into Berkeley engineering (just from one class). For that major, at leat, they seem to love DVC.
Berkeley City College, City College of San Francisco, Diablo Valley College, De Anza, Chabot. There are a lot.
