The JC is really really great at preparing you to transfer
because of all these resources that they have available,
such as the Transfer Center, which organizes all of these field trips and Transfer Day,
that I’ve personally attended, and I loved,
I first explored the UC Berkeley campus with the JC and their field trip,
and fell in love with it, obviously.
I’ve also met with my transfer counselor a billion times,
even before I was preparing to transfer and working on my application.
I would meet with her to plan my classes and to look at all the requirements,
and make sure I was hitting all of them.
And I was meeting with all these reps from UC Berkely, UCLA,
UC Santa Barbara and UC Irvine, that she would set up.
And it was amazing because I really felt safe and I felt prepared,
and I didn’t feel blindsided at all.
