<p>Hi, at the moment I'm attending both Golden West Community College and Coastline Community College in Orange County (Socal), and looking to transfer out for Mechanical Engineering. What schools should I be looking at? UCLA? USC? I do want to stay relatively near home just in case there's family issues. Regardless, I will be taking out loans and be working part-time to pay off college, so financial issues isn't too much of a big deal but I'd rather not pay too much extra for the same education.</p>
<p>Which school should I be looking to transfer into? Which schools has a better rate of finding a career after graduation? Also, which schools has a higher transfer rate for Mechanical Engineering?</p>
