I currently am a community college student at El Camino college (it's a community college, I was late to liking school, especially the subjects involving math and science). I have kept a 4.0 for the three semesters I have been there. I have been taking "college" courses. I really want to go to a very good university, UCLA would be my last choice. I want to go to a school such as UC Berkeley, Stanford, ect. I was interested in how your experience with college has been and how much you liked the school you went to? Thanks for your time.

My experience with college was very positive. I attended a small liberal arts college and really enjoyed the small class sizes and close relationships I was able to develop with my professors. I had a great balance between challenging coursework and extracurricular activities. I know that attending a bigger school like UCLA would have been different, but I'm so glad that I chose a smaller college. Stanford and UC Berkeley are both incredible schools that offer a lot of opportunities and I'm sure you'll do great if you get accepted. Good luck!
