[b]I didn’t get into UC Berkeley initially so went to community college and transferred.[/b] It’s honestly not a big deal and I saved a ton of money. She will be ok “if it came to this”. [/quote]

An xlnt plan . . .in California.  It's a much more popular and sensible route there.  My relatives all did it.  It is not as accepted a route here in DCUM land.
