UC to CC to UC or CSU

<p>So I am currently a Sophomore at UCSC and at this moment I am debating about going to a CC and taking of leave of absence for winter and spring quarter. The reason I am thinking about this, is that I am currently taking out a lot of loans and I figured why not save money and go to community college. I also feel that this might be a good idea to try to figure out things, see what I like and what I want to major in that way i wouldn't waste money and more time. </p>

<p>I was thinking about majoring in Psych at UCSC and if I do then I will be done by the end of my junior year(because I came in as a freshmen with 27 credits and many GE's done) . But the thing is that psych isn't one of my interests. I have always thought about majoring in Communications or Business marketing because I want to do Public relations and later go into international relations. So i keep thinking about going to a cc and then maybe transferring. </p>

<p>But the thing is that I am scared of making this big decision. It scary to take a leave of absences and wonder if you are really going to return or not. At this moment I am unsure of what to do. Because I have 2 paths to choose. I either stay at UCSC at do PSych and graduate next year or go to cc and transfer to another school where I might be happier because I am doing the major I want. </p>

<p>One thing that i keep thinking in my head is will people look down on me?</p>

<p>No one is going to look down on you. You have valid reasons… save yourself some money because you’ll regret having large student loan debt.</p>

<p>One thing that i keep wondering is, whether I would regret leaving? This is hard since it will be another big change. I will no longer be living on my own, i wont be with my friends from school and I will miss out on a lot of the college things, but I guess this is how life is. You lose and then gain something else.</p>
