<p>Okay guys so please read my problem. It's very easy to answer.</p>
<p>I started college last week (Cal State University), and so far I haven't really been able to settle in with the atmosphere, the distance from home, and the whole party scene.</p>
<p>Today I started my class, and I just couldn't believe it. 30 kids, small classroom, no midterms,1 page worksheet homeworks daily, and only quizzes.</p>
<p>Is this what college is really about?</p>
<p>Point is, I am already starting to feel like this isn't for me. Although the financial aid and grants are generous, I care about my education and future and this is not what I imagined it to look like.</p>
<p>I was wondering. Should I drop out immediately or should I wait it out till the 1st semester ends and drop out?</p>
<p>I would like to transfer to a cc and then to either UCSB or UCSC.</p>
<p>I know those are kinda party schools too, but at least they have great academics.</p>
<p>Should I just put up with all of this?</p>
<p>Please help me. I am so lost and confused. Thank you.</p>
<p>no offense but CSUs look like a regular CC to me. if he/she was expecting a UCLA scenery at whatever CSU she is attending she has the right to be disappointed lol.</p>
<p>No one’s going to make you do something you don’t want to do. But weight both options and carefully to decide what’s best for you and your future. If you’re only paying 100 some dollars right now, I think you’ve got it made. My sister alone has three loans on top of the free tuition she’s got just to attend Cal State Bernardino for one year. I pay a lot for books just to go to my CC, but I am transferring to a UC as soon as possible. </p>
<p>I think this is true, but I can’t be 100% accurate since I’m only a CC transfer myself. If you attend another university and transfer to a CC, you’ll be unit capped. If you had started at a CC you could take as many classes as you want and have as many units as you want before transferring to a UC. Although, I think if you dropped out at this time it would be extremely hard to even get a class you’d need at a CC. </p>
<p>If you care about your education and future, try and shoot higher. I think you’ll have a lot of second thoughts once you get to UCSC, however. My friend transferred to UC Berkeley from there because he hated the party atmosphere. I can’t speak for everyone, though.</p>
