Financial Aid
none at the moment

Any regrets
My biggest regret is that I took a ton of silly, worthless classes. I spent my first year as a graphic design major, so I have quite a few art classes that won't fulfill any requirements after I transfer. Looking back, I wish I had taken more science or foreign language courses. Secondly, I wish I hadn't been so immature my first year of community college; I really could have pulled a better GPA.

Housing
I'll be living in an off-campus, university owned apartment. Also, I'll be rooming with one of my friends from my community college who was also accepted to UCLA, so I won't have to gamble on getting a good roomate.
