Ok guys so I’m at the point were I need to decide which college to transfer because each of these universities have different classes from now on… I have already completed all the classes that these both universities overlap on. I am a student at PIERCE COLLEGE in LA. I also want to stay local that’s why I have not considered any other school. My list of classes and respective grades are as follow:
CHEM 101
A
CALC 1
A
CALC 2
A
CAlC 3
A
DIFF EQUA
A
PHYSICS 101
A
PHYSICS 102
A
GENERAL ED GPA on classes that both universities will accept is 4.0… In Summary my GPA is 4.0 on all transferable courses. Something I worked really hard for, so I’m proud of myself
My big debate here is should I transfer to UCLA or CSUN. I hear that CSUN’s Mechanical Engineering program is very hands-on and is very good. Which is something i think could help me find a job soon after graduation or get internships. Whereas UCLA’s Mechanical engineering i hear is more theoretical. Honestly I am Considering UCLA just for the name.
Also, after working a couple of years, I plan on getting a degree on Astronautical engineering or Aerospace Engineering from USC. ( Might be relevant to your answers or not just wanted to say my plan so I can get a better answer from you guys.)
Another part of my plan is to work on space exploration, so i want to work for any company like NASA, SpaceX, Northrup Grunman, Rocketdyne, etc. Which university is better or would be better for me…
PS i live 5 min away from CSUN and 1hr away from UCLA (including traffic). The 405 freeway is a traffic jam beast
