UCSB vs. LMU vs. Community College

<p>UCSB: Tuition covered, Student Loans: 1,000 to 5,000/yr depending on if I score a cheap double room (they are limited)
LMU: Full ride, don't have to take out any student loans.. but if I don't maintain a 3.0 I'm completely screwed.
Community College: Transfer to a UC after 2 years. Every UC except for UCLA and UC Berkeley pretty much guarantees admission to transfer applicants.</p>

<p>Questions:
1. How hard would it be to transfer from UCSB to UC Berkeley? I have family that I would stay with in the Bay Area, so going to UC Berkeley would be way cheaper. </p>

<li><p>Is transferring to UCSB from CC after 2 years just as good as going to UCSB for 4 years? I don't care that much about the "college experience".. just my future career. What are the cons of a CC to UC transfer? Is it a mistake if I was accepted into a bunch of UCs?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>P.S. - If you have any other information about UCSB or LMU I'd appreciate it.</p>
