<p>Should I go to CU Boulder or SBCC then transfer to UCSB?! I really want the college experience and I feel that going to a Community College would ruin that. On the other hand I love the atmosphere of UCSB more and would event try to transfer to USC which is my first choice!</p>
<p>Out of State for both.</p>
<p>Why is the choice between Boulder and a community college? Are you concerned that you won’t get into UCSB as a freshman? </p>
<p>BTW, in general, I don’t think it’s smart to pay hefty OOS tuition for a community college, unless you have no other options.</p>
<p>No unfortunately UCSB isn’t a choice as a a freshman</p>
<p>In that case, I’d say go to Boulder. At least there you will get the traditional 4-year college experience; something you’ll miss out on going to community college/transferring.</p>
<p>Thank you for your input :)</p>
<p>Bump!!!</p>
<p>What is your situation? What are your stats? </p>
<p>What is your home state? </p>
<p>What is your budget…how much will your parents pay? UCSB costs $50k per year for an OOS student. If you’re parents won’t pay that, then that school will not be affordable.</p>
<p>3.0 gpa
26 ACT</p>
<p>If your parents will pay $50k per year for any school, then there are some that will accept you.</p>
<p>I am aware of the costs, right now I am just looking for input on what will be more beneficial and a better education/college experience</p>
<p>hey i am in the same situation as you. what are you deciding? i might go to sbcc also</p>
<p>I think I’ve decided on CU</p>
