[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I grew up in Arizona. I knew lots of people who went to ASU and U of A. My best friend's daughter is at U of A. She loves it.

I am somewhat skeptical of the idea of "neighboring states as a better launching pad for CA jobs than staying in VA." People who go to Arizona schools mostly want jobs in Arizona. I don't think AZ schools give you any advantage, relative to any other non-California state, for getting jobs in California.

What I think you should look at is the Cal State system. [b]Some of them are in roughly the same category as U of A in terms of price and selectivity[/b]. (Some of them are even cheaper than U of A, as far as I can tell.) San Diego State, [b]Cal State Long Beach, Cal State LA, Cal Poly Pomona[/b] - I work for an engineering company that has thousands of employees in southern California, and we definitely hire people from these schools.[/quote]
I am from Los Angeles. Lol, absolutely not. [/quote]
+1 sorry, but this is terrible advice. Do not listen to it. [/quote]
OP here. LOL, I'm not. The suggestion I send my son to a community college in California, especially considering I've never send a single word about him being interested in anything realted to California, is very strange.

Filtering out "noise" is important on DCUM, so I've learned![/quote]

Cal State schools are not "community colleges".

As for not saying anything about California, was this not you?

"Both U of A and AS are on my radar for DS because he ultimately wants to live in CA (most of our relatives are there so we visit there a lot) but we can't afford UC's OOS tuition and there aren't many (any?) privates that offer much merit aid. So, he's considering neighboring states as a better launching pad for CA jobs than staying in VA."[/quote]
