@“aunt bea” Sorry about my elitist view on San Diego’s community colleges. I admit having jumped to a conclusion a little too quick since I’ve only been here for one semester. And I’m at Cuyamaca right now. I said I go to Southwestern because I will be transferring to there after the spring semester is over (which it technically is because we have one week left). Previously, I chose Cuyamaca, which is 20+ minutes away from my home compared to Southwestern that is 7 minutes away, because I heard Cuyamaca-Grossmont is one of the better districts in San Diego, and many people were talking bad about Southwestern, saying it’s just like an extension of high school. But I’ll be transferring to Southwestern for shorter commute time and because of my disappointing experience at Cuyamaca.
@Hamurtle I’d actually be more comfortable here in San Diego. I’ve settled down pretty well and even though I’ve only been here for around 6 months, I feel at home, enough. I’d be more out of place in Cupertino because I’ve never been in a situation in which I was surrounded by Chinese. I’ve also never had many Chinese friends or co-workers. Lastly, I have a feeling that the materials would be more challenging at De Anza.
I am authorized to work and I pay full taxes. I don’t get under-the-table payments.
My credit score has plummetted because collecting credit cards is my hobby… So I went on a spree not even a year ago. I have 10+ credit cards, with most of them sitting in my drawers with a balance of 0. I think 3 of my cards carry a balance on them and sees regular use. My credit score is still 690, according to credit karma. Which is not good, but not horrible either, I guess.
Thanks for worrying
