<p>JL50ish:
From everything I’ve read it’s easier to transfer from a CC to a UC than from a CalState to a UC.</p>
<p>Besides, once she starts at a particular 4 year school she may be better off, and more inclined, to complete her UG at that 4 year school rather than transferring since by then she’ll be somewhat established socially with friends, be in tune with the methods of the particular college, perhaps be involved in certain campus activities, jobs, research, etc.</p>
<p>Besides more - CalPoly SLO is a well respected school so other than the switch to commuting to save money I’m not sure there’s much to be gained from transferring to UCB after 2 years even if the transfer was to be permitted.</p>
