<p>Are you taking summer classes prior to transferring this Fall? I don't have to take any classes, and I originally didn't report that I would in the UC application too. However, we have a very long summer, and I thought maybe I could squeeze in just one class prior to transfer to fulfill a GE requirement. The process is very tedious however, but worth it for the credits I think.</p>
<p>But, at the same time, I want to put off the class until Fall because I want to meet new people/form relationships! Who knows, the same class I take at a UC might be a life-changer! I could also potentially learn more in the UC class vs. the same course offered by the CC or university class.</p>
<p>What do you guys think I should do?</p>
<p>I just graduated today and I’m taking a class at my CC over the summer.</p>
<p>I think it’s a good idea because you may need elective credit and/or GE units. </p>
<p>Bottom line it helps you and keeps your brain fresh on academics for the Fall rather then being like not on the ball</p>
<p>I wouldn’t use wanting to meet new people as a reason to put off a class til Fall… if you don’t take this one during Fall, you’ll have a different class in your schedule. So you’d still have just as many opportunities to make new friends. Same logic for what you’ll get out of the class… if it’s GE, I assume you’re not using it as a pre-req for another class, and if you take it now you’ll have more time for classes that interest you during the normal semester.</p>
<p>But price and spending all summer in school are definitely reasons to consider not taking classes, so weigh your options and do what you think is best.</p>
<p>I transferred a while ago, I actually took summer classes at UCB before transferring. I was missing pre-reqs I couldn’t take at my CC, so I used summer to catch up. For me it worked out pretty well.</p>
