Which California college is the best for a Journalism major?
I'm currently enrolled into community college and am still having trouble with which California college would be the best suited for me. I'm interested in the field of journalism (magazines preferably), but I can't decide which college will be the smartest choice. It is between USC, UCLA, Chapman, or Cal State Long Beach. Also, which of those four is the easiest to get into and the best location? Any information helps, thanks!

Where should I go to college, California or Florida
Where should I go to college, California or Florida?
So I ask this question again, because the first time around everyone but one person said Florida. So then I posted another question asking specifically what colleges in Florida are good, and I got a comment saying that colleges in California are way better, although more expensive but it's pretty much worth it. So, California or Florida? I'm not sure about the prices, but apparently CA costs a hell of a lot more. And yes I'm aware it costs alot more to go out of state for college.

Answer 1 :
You should go to the cali one. I live in cali. Also we need more pretty ppl down in cali. =)
Answer 2 :
Im looking for colleges as an out of state student too and well in my opinion i would choose florida. Well the universities in California are really good but somewhat very expensive considering the hight cost of living. I recommend you doing a research on some colleges u might be interested in those states and compare them financially and academically..go to collegeboard.com and look for the colleges there. good luck!
Answer 3 :
california, it has much more culture and the lifestyle and yout opportunities are much better and more appealing ;)
Answer 4 :
There are two things I would suggest looking at. One. What major you might do and which state is more likely to have that program or a better program. Two. There is a huge difference in attitudes between California and Florida. Anyone who has been to the East and West coasts knows there is a big difference in how people act. I would suggest visiting schools and deciding that way. If I didn't visit schools, I probably would have transferred about a dozen times. I hated my first choice because of the people.
Answer 5 :
I think it depends on what you want to study and what you'd be comfortable around. I like to check out Princtonreview to see what people have to say about schools. After you've figured out what schools are good academically, check out the politics of the schools and the environments around them- are you more comfortable in urban or suburban settings? Would a super liberal or super conservative school or environment be uncomfortable for you? I went to school in Cali and really liked it, but it's where I'm from. You might also want to check out the weather in the areas you're looking at. California varies quite a bit from North to South. I don't know about Florida.
Answer 6 :
You might want to ask your parents to see how much they are willing to spend on college. California does have better colleges, such as Pepperdine University, Stanford University, University of Southern California, or UC Berkeley. They are definitely more expensive, because the best California colleges are private. Also, if you are interested in liberal arts colleges, then California is definitely the place for you. Many people pick California for college because the weather is nice, but also, the people there are very diverse. You should go to college in California, in my opinion. But, it ultimately comes down to what you plan to do as a career, tuition, and location.
Answer 7 :
I think colleges/universities in California are much better.
Answer 8 :
Florida... Check out the University of Florida, Miami University (private), and University of Central Florida.... they are top notch schools that have excellent academics (as well at athletics, everyone knows the Gators down here) and are well respected. Florida is one of the cheapest states to go to college in and you can't beat the weather (though, i suppose in souther CA that would be true too). Schools in California aren't "way better", i suppose they would probably be about equal. I have heard that in some parts of Cali it is very hard getting a job because you are competing with all of the actors/actresses/musician wannabees there. LOL Overall, i would suggest you apply to some in both. You don't know where you'll be accepted. Also, if you are still undecided why don't you try to think about where you want to be AFTER college, and then pick a school near there. Good luck!
Answer 9 :
go to florida, its soo much funner

What type of people are at Cerritos College, California
What type of people are at Cerritos College, California?
I will be attending Southern California's Cerritos College next year, and I was wondering what type of people are there. Are they often rude, nice, snobby etc.? Also, can anyone tell me if there are mostly Caucasians, Hispanics, African Americans, or Asians at this school? Any information you think is important is welcome. thank you.

Answer 1 :
It is a fairly typical community college. Most students are down to earth people who want to get an education. There is no reason to think that they would be rude or snobby. Given the location of the college, there is probably a very diverse student body which includes a large number of people of Hispanic heritage, among others.
Answer 2 :
At the bottom of page one you'll find a breakdown of the ethnicities enrolled in the Spring of 2009: http://cms.cerritos.edu/uploads/PublicAffairs/factsheet_2010_01_web.pdf The school districts that feed into Cerritos College include ABC Unified, Bellflower Unified, Downey Unified and Norwalk La Mirada Unified. Do you know students who attended these high schools? Though the student body draws from a larger area, many will come from these high schools. http://www.cerritos.edu/default/community.aspx You can find a current listing of student clubs on this page: http://cms.cerritos.edu/activities/ascc-student-club-information It looks like the library has a lot going for it. I would recommend taking the 1 unit class which is an introduction to library research skills. http://cms.cerritos.edu/library/library-100/library-100
