<p>I've just went to orientation for Santa Monica College (community college) and have found the experience to be quite negative. I don't like the atmosphere of the city/living expenses and such. I was wondering if it was possible for me to transfer to another community college before the start of term. I have yet to sign up for any classes at Santa Monica College, however my visa states that I'll be attending SMC so I don't know how that would work. Can anyone offer me advice? thanks in advance</p>
