Time For College, Location location location. Options

[JFrost9]

Well, its time for me to decide where i want to goto college... ive already been accepted to Texas Tech and Texas, but i had another idea... i was thinking why not goto Comunity College for a year in that state and obtain residency, and then goto school as a resident (for money reasons). So im wondering, should i goto Colorado, California, or NY. Those are my 3 choices. Acceptance isnt a problem, cuz im in the top 5 percent and my test scores are pretty good...

All of the schools im considering in these areas have the majors i want.

Just want some extra feed back...

It really depends on what area you want to study. I'm going to a UC next year, which is great if you like big schools with lots of programs, opportunities and professors. It's not so great if you want personal contact with all of your professors, a smaller environment, small campus, or small intro classes. first year econ, chem and bio classes literally have 100-400 students at lectures, so if you don't mind being a number, they are great ways to meet lots of ppl and have tons of class choices and activities. Also, although all UCs give great educations, different UCs are better in different depts. for example, davis has agriculture, berkeley has business, irvine has ecology, criminology, sociology, san diego has science, ucla is all around good.

btw, are you a junior or a senior? lots of college admission deadlines already passed if youre a senior.
