<p>Hello all. About me: 24, honorably discharged from the Marine Corps. Did 5 years of service. After heeding advice from other vets, I decided to go to community college, instead of straight into a 4 year. Im in the SF Bay Area, and will be transferring to UC Berkeley once admissible.</p>
<p>Im in the East Bay, and was planning on attending Foothill College. Thats a 30-40 minute drive without major traffic. I have attend Foothill before the Corps. Didnt do much, but I know the school, and they have some excellent teachers. There is a CC, Ohlone College, 20 minutes away, and they also have a Newark campus, not more than 10min away. Not sure the quality of their teachers, but their facility look pretty nice, as well as Foothills.</p>
<p>Im majoring in Chemical Engineering, and have had the counselor write out my Education Plan, but am wondering if it would be wiser to attend the closer CC. </p>
<p>Again, the big differences, that I know of, is Ohlone is in the East Bay; a bit ghetto/industrial. Foothill is in the Los Altos, very very rich community, very nice campus in a very nice location (right in/near the foothills, gorgeous)...</p>
<p>Well, I feel somewhat silly now. After writing out this post, I think I would rather attend Foothill : P</p>
<p>Oh well, what your thoughts...</p>
