<p>okay so i'm currently a freshman at uc davis, it's a decent school and all, but i just havent found it to be a great fit for me; I don't terribly like the whole small town feeling, found myself homesick at times, and just felt as if the whole "college experience" and being away from home was overrated. at least for me. i just don't feel like i'm ready to intake all the resources offered at a major research school, and that all this extra "fluff" isn't really necessary. so this is why i'm considering this move: would it be a good idea to voluntarily withdraw from the school and enroll at a community college back home? i'm originally from the los angeles suburb of hacienda heights, so if i choose to do this, i could commute to the cc from home, spend a year and a half there, and transfer back to a four year school (not davis, but one in socal).</p>
<p>Once my first year at davis is up, i will have 55 total units. you need at least 90 quarter units to transfer to a four-year, but no more than 120, so would it be possible to spend three semesters at the cc, get up to 120 quarter units, then transfer to a uc like uci or ucla and complete another 60 units once there and get up to 180 and graduate? basically, my college outline would be 1 year at davis, then 1.5 years at CC, then 1.33 years at another uc school.</p>
<p>also, when i apply to transfer, would they only look at the grades i got at the cc, or the ones i got at davis as well? also, how would the cc treat the units i got during my time at davis?</p>
<p>Luckily, you’re in a state that REALLY values its community college system. Top schools like Berkeley - and even Stanford - have a tendency to recruit through the California cc system. </p>
<p>That being said, yes. Colleges always need to see transcripts from ALL previous schools. </p>
<p>What you’re suggesting isn’t entirely unheard of or even uncommon. When you go to community college you’ll find plenty of students who are doing the same thing (though you may not find many posting on here). There you’ll find more personalized resources, at a better price, on a smaller scale. I wish you luck.</p>
<p>thank god you are transferring, yeah we have to accept our homesick problem, is nt a problem but it’s just how we feel comfortable and that help us out to feel better about studying, I’m transferring to a 4 yrs College near home, hope to get accepted there, I heard this college has an open admission policy so that means im 90% positive to be admitted… yeah as I was saying home is the best + cheaper, no loans at all, diversity, good food! no terrible roomates, no people smoking weed right next to you… lots of thinqs that are just not right that will end up once we move back home, what major u pursuing? 180 credits sounds like a master degree to me…</p>
<p>What a coincidence. I was in the same position as you. I was at Davis for the fall quarter and withdrew. Now I’m at a local CC. I do somewhat regret leaving Davis before finishing a year. But so far, after talking to a bunch of counselors, I don’t think my withdraw from Davis will hurt me in the admissions process. On a side note, I have a friend who withdrew from UCSD after fall quarter, went to CC and got into USC the following school year. </p>
<p>If you’re interested in going to another UC, I’d recommend going to CC then transferring, because UC’s do have set agreements with local CC’s and from what I’ve heard it’s really hard to leave one UC for another.</p>
<p>To answer your question, the colleges will look at your Davis grades and if you want to know how your UCD units will transfer to cc you should check this website out: [Welcome</a> to ASSIST](<a href=“http://www.assist.org%5DWelcome”>http://www.assist.org) it has all the “articulation agreements” between California CC’s, UC’s, and CSU</p>
<p>hope that helps and best of luck!</p>
