What is a good college in California for an English/Writing major

What is a good college in California for an English/Writing major?
I am a senior (class of '09). I plan to go to a junior college for my general ed, then transfer to a university of some kind, but I'm not sure which to pick. Any suggestions for in and around California? I'd prefer one at which I could also minor in Film/Film Production, or Screenwriting. My GPA is a 3.5, I recently took the SATs but haven't gotten the results yet...

Answer 1 :
Absolute best English/Writing Dept in California is Berkeley and Stanford. Best film programs in general are down in SoCal. The popular JC's I know of in the Bay Area are Foothill College and College of Marin. Marin's hella nice with a quiet campus hidden in a lush forest off a small road but only 10 minutes from the City and E-Bay (east bay). Many aspiring filmmakers prefer UCLA and USC. Writers go to Berkeley, Stanford, Claremont, etc.
Answer 2 :
Pomona (one of the claremont colleges) or ucla for film both are really hard to get into though check out chapman too its definitely easier

Answer 1 :
As long as you graduate from an accredited high school is all that matters, And of course you will need good grades and SAT scores too.
Answer 2 :
What kind of college? If it is private - check the site of the particular college, and see. If it is a public university (UC or CS) they spell out exactly what you need as an OOS applicant. If it is a community college, all you need is to be a certain age, or have a diploma or GED. Some unsolicited advice: The UC/CS system is a great value for instate residence. But, we are having major budget issues, and the colleges are losing a lot of funding. This will mean over crowding. It can be difficult to finish in 4 years. If you are paying OOS tuition, I do not think it is a very good deal at all.
