[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The community colleges on the peninsula and South Bay are filled with UMC kids. [/quote]
What are peninsula and South Bay? Asking from DMV.[/quote]

Bay Area Silicon Valley area so areas like Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Los Altos, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, San Jose, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Campbell, Cupertino etc. Very wealthy area with lots of smart rich kids doing community college and then transferring into top UC schools. It’s a big thing in the highly educated Asian community too.

Bounce back is also relatively common for kids going OOS to colder climates. Californians can’t deal with cold, dreary weather. It’s not a stigma to decide you don’t like the school, come back do your second year at community college then transfer into a UC junior year. Since UC doesn’t take sophomore year transfers it’s not a stigma to do this. There are bounce back kids who flunk out or do poorly and aren’t ready for college but they are mixed in with the I’m not going to pay 70K-90k to be miserable for another year kids. [/quote]
