Good decision. Lots of good community colleges in CA, and of course the UC's are some of the best schools in the world.

Congrats on getting your visa.

P.S. Who do you think will win: soO or Classic?

Congrats. Hopefully your college stories will include less instances of escaping out windows in the middle of the night.

Which is an even better story now.

Also, your "typing English" has improved again.

There's actually very little reason to pursue an associate's degree unless it coincides/deviates very little from your transfer plans. I mean, unless you REALLY wanted some sort of 2-year checkpoint, it's better to just sign a transfer agreement after your first year and achieve it so you can transfer ASAP to a 4-year. From my time, that was the quickest way to transfer. Good luck!

Good luck in the US. You seem really dedicated and I'm sure you'll do well here

From his previous blogs, the reason is cost. There is nothing wrong with earning an associates degree in a community college and transferring to a four year university to work on a bachelor's after.
Skill is relative.
